Module hook itself

[Karanveer7921]

I have an android app + xposed module. In the app, I have to show wether xposed module is enabled or not. Normally, what we can do is create a method in app class like, isXposedModuleEnabled() and set it to return false. Via xposed api, hook this method and return true. I dont only need to show xposed status, but also need to hook android internal api which my app uses. so basically need to hook the module app itself

That's meaningless.

assume there is a game and via xposed i provide some tweaks for that game. There might be switches to turn on and off hooks, i could also display target game's logs in my app (xposed module) via hooking the logger for that game or something like that. what i want is if xposed module isnt activated, it should show a screen to user that module isnt activated and don't allow user to do anything with those switches/options. If you look at the source of other modules which shows the status of if this module is activated or not, they used the same approach (creating a method that return constant false, then hook it to return true, which shows module is activated) but this wont work in lsposed or edxposed since they dont allow to add module itself in the scope list

the module itself will be in the scope list if there's at least one other app hooked

It never invoked the IXposedHookLoadPackage#handleLoadPackage(...) for the module itself , however It invokes for other apps in the scope

[yujincheng08]

It will invoke. My module uses the same way to check the activation status.

[Karanveer7921]

Okay it invoked now, I reinstalled the module app and rebooted the device

If you want to hook some system methods to do some tricks or to measure the performance, why not https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPlant
