The smali file to hook location logic fails when launcher line is within an activity-alias element #12

Closed dana-at-cp closed 8 years ago

dana-at-cp commented 8 years ago

The smali file to hook location logic fails when launcher line is within an "activity-alias" element. An example of such a manifest file is contained in Amazon_App.apk.

`

    </activity-alias>`

In such cases, the "android:targetActivity" attribute value must be used instead of the "android:name" attribute value.

Read more about the "activity" and "activity-alias" elements here:
