API to check if xposed framework is installed or not. #83

Hi,

Is there any API to check if xposed framework is installed or not ?

I checked Xposed Installer code and found that it checks for "XposedBridge.jar" existence which differs for both dalvik and ART, and it might could change in future.

Thanks!

I would probably check if an app with package name de.robv.android.xposed.installer is installed. Not sure if it's 100% future-proof, but I would say it's more reliable than checking for any files. And Xposed can't provide an API itself, because... it wouldn't be there if Xposed isn't installed. :)

If you're concerned about the actual framework not being installed (but the app is)... don't be. There are other things that could go wrong, e.g. your module might not be enabled, the user might not have rebooted yet, it might have failed to load for various reasons... My recommendation is that you add a method to your app like isActive(), which by default returns false. Then you hook it from your module and change it to return true instead.

What about finding out from a stack trace using Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace() ?
