Android Tutorial => Creating a Xposed Module

Example

Xposed is a framework that allows you to hook method calls of other apps. When you do a modification by decompiling an APK, you can insert/change commands directly wherever you want. However, you will need to recompile/sign the APK afterwards and you can only distribute the whole package. With Xposed, you can inject your own code before or after methods, or replace whole methods completely. Unfortunately, you can only install Xposed on rooted devices. You should use Xposed whenever you want to manipulate the behavior of other apps or the core Android system and don't want to go through the hassle of decompiling, recompiling and signing APKs.

First, you create a standard app without an Activity in Android Studio.

Then you have to include the following code in your build.gradle:

repositories {
    jcenter();
}

After that you add the following dependencies:

provided 'de.robv.android.xposed:api:82'
provided 'de.robv.android.xposed:api:82:sources'

Now you have to place these tags inside the application tag found in the AndroidManifest.xml so Xposed recognizes your module:

<meta-data
        android:name="xposedmodule"
        android:value="true" />
<meta-data
        android:name="xposeddescription"
        android:value="YOUR_MODULE_DESCRIPTION" />
<meta-data
        android:name="xposedminversion"
        android:value="82" />

NOTE: Always replace 82 with the latest Xposed version.
