Amigo is a hotfix library which can hotfix almost everything for your app.

Usage

In your project's build.gradle

dependencies {
  classpath 'me.ele:amigo:0.0.8'
}

In your module's build.gradle

 apply plugin: 'me.ele.amigo'

you are good to go now, as simple as this.

notice

sync with jcenter may take some time, if amigo cannot be found, please add my private maven url into your buildscript

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://dl.bintray.com/jackcho/maven"
        }
        jcenter()
        ...
    }
}

to make hotfix work

There are two ways to make hotfix work.

  • if you don't need hotfix work immediately

    you just need to download new apk file to /data/data/{your pkg}/files/amigo/demo.apk, when app restarts next time, hotfix apk will be loaded as fresh as new.

     Amigo.workLater(context);
     // or
     Amigo.workLater(context, apkFile);
  • work immediately, app will restart immediately

     Amigo.work(context);
     // or
     Amigo.work(context, apkFile);

clear the previously installed patch-apk manually

Amigo.clear(context);

note:if apk has changed we will automatic clear the old apk.

customize the fix layout

some time-tense operation is handled in a new process with an activity, you may customize it

<meta-data
    android:name="amigo_layout"
    android:value="{your-layout-name}" />

<meta-data
    android:name="amigo_theme"
    android:value="{your-theme-name}" />

load new Activity and BroadcastReceiver

you can add activities & receivers whatever you like to add in your hotfix apk, waiting for Service & ContentProvider

if you would like to RTFC, please checkout support_new_added_components branch

this's in beta version for now, so you may use this

 classpath 'me.ele:amigo:0.0.6-beta1'
 ...

play with demo

if you try to experience Amigo's magic, you can integrate with your own app as you like; also you can play with this app demo following the procedures below.

  1. ./gradlew clean assembleRelease & adb install .../build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk
  2. change code wherever you like & ./gradlew clean assembleRelease
  3. adb push .../build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk /sdcard/demo.apk
  4. click the "apply patch apk" button, and see the changes you made then.

retrieve hotfix file

  • make it simple, you just need a fully new apk

  • for user's network traffic's sake, you may just want to download a diff file bspatch is an option for you
