Abstract
The behavior of an installed application within the Android device is modified. The program code is modified to allow a security application to load and run the application within its own context. The modified program code is repacked into a modified APK file, executed within the context of the security application. A component within a target application includes APIs for starting other components. These APIs are modified to use a new intent object which points to a proxy component. A modified target application is executed. The security application loads the target application into memory without installing it. The security application includes a component of each type and creates a proxy component instance for each component in the target application. A proxy component under control of the security application is created for each component within the target application. The target application is executed under the control of the security application.
