How to use:

• declare permission in your AndroidManifest.xml:

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS" />

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

• regist an activity

  <activity android:name="androidx.pluginmgr.DynamicActivity" />

• init PluginMgr in your application

  @Override
  public void onCreate(){
     PluginManager.init(this);
     //...
  }

• load plugin from plug apk:

  PluginManager mgr = PluginManager.getSingleton();
  File myPlug = new File("/mnt/sdcard/Download/myplug.apk");
  PlugInfo plug = pluginMgr.loadPlugin(myPlug).iterator().next();

• start activity: mgr.startMainActivity(context, plug);

• Plugin verify feature

    PluginManager.getSingleton().setPluginOverdueVerifier(new PluginOverdueVerifier() {
            @Override
            public boolean isOverdue(File originPluginFile, File targetExistFile) {
                //check If the plugin has expired
                return true;
            }
        });

• Use custom selector

    PluginManager.getSingleton().setActivitySelector(new DynamicActivitySelector() {
            @Override
            public Class<? extends Activity> selectDynamicActivity(ActivityInfo pluginActivityInfo) {
  
                return YourProxyActivity.class;
            }
        });

• 破壳系统 - 取得存在于宿主中的对象

    Context hostContext = (Context) getSystemService("GetHostContext");
    String pluginPackageName = (String) getSystemService("GetPluginPkgName");
    PackageInfo pluginPackageInfo = (PackageInfo) getSystemService("GetPluginPkgInfo");
    //...
    //破壳系统支持的操作详见 androidx/pluginmgr/Globals.java
