public
class
SplitInstallHelper
extends Object
Helper class that includes utilities that your app can use to retrieve information about
available, installed split APKs.
For example, you use this API after a split install to refresh the app Context and access code
and resources from installed modules.

Public methods
loadLibrary
public static void loadLibrary (Context context,
String libName)
Loads a native library using a classloader, or a full path if the library is not available in
the class path. This method should be used by instant apps to load a library from a newly
installed split.
Note: For instant apps, you need to call updateAppInfo(Context).
For more information and examples, see Load C/C++
libraries.
| Parameters |
|---|
context |
Context: the app Context |
libName |
String: the library name |
updateAppInfo
public static void updateAppInfo (Context context)
Updates application info based on currently installed splits.
For instant apps on Android 8.0 (API level 26) and higher, you must call this API when a
split is installed, so that app components can see code and resources from the new splits.
This method updates application info reference in application thread object.
You must call this API on Android 8.0 and 8.1. It's a no-op on all other versions, so it's
safe to call.
For more information and examples, see Access
code and resources from installed modules.
| Parameters |

context |
Context: application context
