anggrayudi / android-hidden-api

A library that provides access to Android hidden APIs and internal resources.

Android Hidden APIs

Android Hidden APIs are classes, methods and resources that Google hides from you because of stability reason. These features are hidden because they may be changed on next API version.

The internal APIs are located in package com.android.internal and available in the framework.jar, while the hidden APIs are located in the android.jar file with @hide javadoc attribute. Now you know the difference. But I will refer to both as hidden APIs.

This repo contains custom android.jar which you can use to develop your app. However, if you urgently need to create your own android.jar, I also share you the Krabby Patty secret recipe here: Create Your Own Android Hidden APIs.

Use Custom android.jar

1. Download custom android.jar from Google Drive.
2. Go to <SDK location>/platforms/.
3. Copy, paste and replace the downloaded hidden API file into this directory, e.g. android-30/android.jar.
4. Change compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to 30 (for example).
5. Finally, rebuild your project.

Note: Higher compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion will be better.

Resources Helper

If you plan to use only Android internal resources rather than internal classes or methods, do:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.anggrayudi:android-hidden-api:30.0'
}

Here's some example of accessing internal resources:

String accept = InternalAccessor.getString("accept");
float sbar_height = InternalAccessor.getDimension("status_bar_height");
int notif_color = InternalAccessor.getColor("config_defaultNotificationColor");

Contributing

If you have your own custom android.jar and want to add it to Google Drive, please create an issue. I will upload it.

How to use the service.jar for Eclipse

SDK 22 not working?

I tried this with SDK 22 but when I switch to the one downloaded here the basic objects are missing. For example Object and String are not found. I did some research and apparently the process for Lollipop is changed as follows:

For Lollipop the flow is little different:

    Get /system/framework/arm/boot.oat from lollipop device
    Use 'java -jar oat2dex.jar boot boot.oat'
    You will got 2 folders: dex and odex. Go to dex and make 'java -jar dex2jar.jar framework.dex'
    Rename resulting framework.jar to .zip, extract and find classes you need
    Go to [sdk_path]/platforms/[target_platform] and extract android.jar (first rename it to zip).
    Copy files from extracted framework to extracted android.jar. Then compress to zip and rename to .jar :)

android api level 27

can you please add android api 27

Cannot access some resources

I cannot access some resources. For example: @android:attr/theme is accessable, but @android:attr/pointerStyle isn't. However, when you look with APK Tool, the identifier exists in resources.arsc. I would like to see this resources unhidden.

Will this api work if

Hi,
Sorry for creating issue as i didn't find any way to reach you. Will this api work if the app (debug variant) is deployed on real device? Because i'm afraid it will not.

I think this is only good if you want to test app on emulator. Please have your kind words on this comment before you delete this.

Thanks

THis does not have all hidden APIs

Basically android.jar is not only framework.jar, but also contains classes from a few other common libraries

We at AOKP need internal APIs to build some of our apps, so we have a script to generate android.jar with all methods.

As you can see in the script here
https://github.com/AOKP/build/blob/mm/tools/customsdkgen.sh#L16
all these classes need to be present in the android.jar
basically this is spread out across

• framework.jar
• framework2.jar
• core.jar
• telephony.jar

android-28 is coming

plz add it

can't access com.android.server.wm.WindowManagerService

When i try to access com.android.server.wm.WindowManagerService i receive W/System.err(10293): java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/android/server/wm/WindowManagerService;

clean Error:Execution failed for task ':app:mockableAndroidJar'. > java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message) in Android Studio 2.2

Error:

gradle:

···
compileSdkVersion 23

···

This error comes when using your lib of android-23, and it disappear when using the original android-23.jar.

We know task ':app:mockableAndroidJar' is experimental in Android Studio 2.1.3, and I close this.

Android Studio clean 时产生 Error:Execution failed for task ':app:mockableAndroidJar' > java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

but google makes this stable in Android Stuido 2.2, and I can't this.

This error comes for some days until today I found this may be result from your lib.

sample project not working

First of all the IDE complains it can't resolve AppCompatActivity. Strangely it still can compile and install the APK onto the test device.

However, when running the app, this list isn't found by findById the result is null. NullpointerExceptions follow.

Sample project with appcompat for android-22

So I think the issue with android-22 comes down to the fact that, if you have an sdk beyond 22 installed, the Android Studio project wizard is a bit dense when in creates the build.gradle file for the module. Specifically it uses the later api com.android.support libraries.

If you uninstall later sdk's then the wizard generates the correct build.gradle file for the module that works with the hidden-api. I would like to suggest that you document the build.gradle requirements for the module for each API. But maybe it should be obvious. In any case for android-22 I have attached a sample project that builds with the main issue being the build.gradle for the module that will work is this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.burningthumb.simpletest"
        minSdkVersion 22
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.1'
}

Can't work

When I use the android.jar (API 22) in your project, I get a error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '\Android\sdk\build-tools\23.0.2\aapt.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
I don't know why, what's more, the built-in type can't be recognized and need import, like String int and more. I don't know why.

My IDE is Android Studio, update to the latest.

How to merge android.jar and framework.jar?

This work looks really impressive!
I am using an Android phone with some extended API's, so the android.jar file exposes a few more classes and methods than normal.
The effect is that I cannot use the android.jar files published here, but will have to merge android.jar and framework.jar myself.
Could you please share information about how to do this?

Can't find mms package under com.google.android

First of all, thanks for sharing those jars.
My issue is that I'm trying to use the hidden API com.google.android.mms but it isn't available on the downloaded jar for API 23.

Not compatible with Robolectric > 3.2

Tested on API level 25 and 26, if I'm using Robolectric 3.2, it's still working. But for some reason that version is not compatible with powermock. Then I upgrade to 3.3 it stops working by raising very weird error like below:

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -3

	at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1931)

	at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.prepareStreamsAndStart(JUnitStarter.java:242)
	at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.main(JUnitStarter.java:70)

If I switch SDK back to the original one, it will work perfect. I test 3.3, 3.4 to 4.0 (latest) of robolectric and non of them works.

API 23 framework.jar - Finally (hopefully)

Hi, I randomly looked at my /system/framework folder and guess what I found: A framework.jar! It even contains 2 dex files. I hope that you can do something with it :D

when you used databinding in your project,it will cause 'xxx.xxx.xxx.databinding not exist' exception when building

如果项目使用了databinding的话，把本地sdk替换成这里的android.jar将会导致编译时提示"xxx.xxx.xxx.databinding"不存在的错误提示，导致编译无法通过。

android-23 will cause build error Constant expression required

I am using android-23 jar.

switch (MeasureSpec.getMode(measureSpec)) {
            case MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED:
                result = desired;
                break;

            default:
                result = specSize;
        }

MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED will cause a compile error: Constant expression required
because the switch statement require a constant expression.

This bug is not fixed. There is a same issue closed but not fixed.

Building v22

Hey there!

First of all, many thanks for getting v22 up, it going to save me so much time once it compiles!

I've managed to get v21 running, but I need v22, so I grabbed it, and whacked it in /sdk/platform/android-22, but I cannot get it to compile. I looked at the previous issues raised here, and my problem is not that I'm using v23 build tools. This is my gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "REDACTED"
        minSdkVersion 22
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.+'
}

As you can see, AppCompat is 22, compileVersion is 22, buildTools is 22, everything is 22. The issue gradle is reporting:

Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Users/botondbutuza/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/22.0.0/aapt'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

The first line of the exception thrown with --debug and --stacktrace is

org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.ExecuteActionsTaskExecuter.executeActions(ExecuteActionsTaskExecuter.java:69)

Not sure if that helps, but there it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have you managed to build a project with v22?
