Minimalist, annotation based, hook framework for Android built on top of AspectJ.
public class Math {
@Hooked("my_hook")
public int add(int a,int b) {
return a+b;
}
}
public class IncrementHook {
@Hook("my_hook")
int hook(HookedMethod<Integer> method) throws Throwable {
return method.proceed() + 1; // add one
}
}
final Math math = new Math();
final IncrementHook hook = new IncrementHook();
Hooker.instance().register(hook);
assertThat(math.add(5, 3), is(9)); // 5 + 3 = 9
Hooker.instance().unregister(hook);
assertThat(math.add(5, 3), is(8)); // 5 + 3 = 8 Hook let you easily hook into methods using simple annotations:
In order to be able to hook a method, you must annotate it as @Hooked.
By annotating arguments using @Param annotations, you'll be later able to easily capture them by name (instead of relying on their declaration order) :
@Hooked("my_hook")
public int add(@Param("a") int a, @Param("b") int b) {
return a+b;
}By using @Hook annotations, you're given a chance to alter arguments and/or the return value of the original @Hooked method. @Hook annotated methods have a mandatory first arguments of type HookedMethod.
You can easily capture arguments by using @Param annotations and you can also capture the enclosing object of the @Hooked method using the @Target annotation:
@Hook("my_hook")
int hook(HookedMethod<Integer> method, @Param("a") int a, @Param("b") int b, @Target Math math) throws Throwable {
return method.proceed(2*a, 2*b); // double operands
}Multiple @Hook method can be defined, and you can specify the execution order using the priority parameter:
@Hook(value="my_hook", priority=1000)
int highPriorityHook(HookedMethod<Integer> method) throws Throwable {
return method.proceed();(
}
@Hook(value="my_hook", priority=1)
int lowPriorityHook(HookedMethod<Integer> method) throws Throwable {
return method.proceed();
}If you don't mind altering arguments nor the return value, you can use @Call annotations instead. Since @Call methods will be invoked first (i.e before any @Hook annotated methods), you can be sure that arguments have not been altered.
@Call("my_hook")
void call(int a, int b) {
...
}Both @Param and @Target capture annotations are supported.
@Before annotated methods are called right before the original method is called - that mean that both @Call and @Hook method(s) were called already (possibly altering arguments). Of course, @Before methods won't be called if a single @Hook method didn't called HookedMethod::proceed().
@Before("my_hook")
void before(int a, int b) {
...
}Both @Param and @Target capture annotations are supported.
@After annotated methods are called right after the original method is called - but before @Hook annotated methods returns. Of course, @After methods won't be called if a single @Hook method didn't called HookedMethod::proceed().
You can capture the return value using the @Result annotation:
@After("my_hook")
void after(@Param("a") int a, @Param("b") int b, @Target Object object, @Result int result) {
...
}Both @Param and @Target capture annotations are also supported.
@Returning annotated methods are called right before returning to the original caller. You can capture the return value using the @Result annotation:
@Returning("my_hook")
void returning(@Param("a") int a, @Param("b") int b, @Result int result) {
...
}Both @Param and @Target capture annotations are also supported.
@Register annotated methods will automatically register the enclosing instance right before execution, exactly in the same way as if Hooker.instance().register(this) were called on the instance.
@Unregister annotated methods will automatically unregister the enclosing instance right after execution, exactly in the same way as if Hooker.instance().unregister(this) were called on the instance.

}public class Math {
@Hooked("my_hook")
public int add(@Param("a") int a, @Param("b") int b) {
System.out.println(" calling add("+a+", "+b+")");
return a+b;
}
}
public class Hooks {
@Before("my_hook")
void before(int a, int b) {
System.out.println(" @Before(a="+a+", b="+b+")");
}
@Call("my_hook")
void call(int a, int b) {
System.out.println("@Call(a="+a+", b="+b+")");
}
@After("my_hook")
void after(@Param("a") int a, @Param("b") int b, @Target Math math, @Result int result) {
System.out.println(" @After(a="+a+", b="+b+", result="+result+")");
}
@Returning("my_hook")
void returning(@Param("a") int a, @Param("b") int b, @Result int result) {
System.out.println("@Returning(a="+a+", b="+b+", result="+result+")");
}
@Hook("my_hook")
int hook(HookedMethod<Integer> method, @Param("a") int a, @Param("b") int b, @Target Math math) throws Throwable {
System.out.println("entering @Hook(a="+a+", b="+b+")");
int ret = method.proceed(2*a, 2*b) + 1; // double operands and increment result
System.out.println("exiting @Hook (return "+ret+")");
return ret;
}
}
final Math math = new Math();
final Hooks hooks = new Hooks();
Hooker.instance().register(hooks);
assertThat(math.add(5, 3), is(17));
Hooker.instance().unregister(hooks);For clarity, here's the output of the snippet above :
@Call(a=5, b=3)
entering @Hook(a=5, b=3)
@Before(a=10, b=6)
calling add(10, 6)
@After(a=10, b=6, result=16)
exiting @Hook (return 17)
@Returning(a=10, b=6, result=17)
The project binaries are hosted on JitPack: the Android integration is made easy thanks to the use of a custom gradle plugin.
Step 1 Import the plugin in your root build.gradle at the buildscript closure:
buildscript {
repositories {
...
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
dependencies {
...
classpath 'com.github.renaudcerrato.Hook:plugin:1.0.0'
}
}Step 2 Add Jitpack in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}Step 3 Apply the plugin in your app build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'hook'
...Make sure your proguard rule set includes following lines:
-keep class com.mypopsy.hook.** { *; }
-keepclasseswithmembernames class * {
@com.mypopsy.hook.** <methods>;
