Intercept the dex stage during AndroidPlayer build?

Unity Engine

Greetings -

I’ve poured over the docs, forums, et. al. looking to determine whether it’s possible to intercept the DEX stage for class rewriting? Anyone know or have pointers for further research?

  • Thanks

There’s no way to currently intercept anything in the build process (only run something once the build completes, using PostProcessBuild attribute).

What are you trying to achieve ? and what do you mean by class rewriting ?

Java class instrumentation, which for Android is typically run at the DEX stage.

How are you doing that on Android ? (not with Unity)

Ant build script; Maven, Eclipse and Gradle plugins. All intercept the DEX call to add the -javaagent option.
