Tinker is a hot-fix solution library for Android, it supports dex, library and resources update without reinstalling apk.

## Getting started
Add tinker-gradle-plugin as a dependency in your main `build.gradle` in the root of your project:

```gradle
buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath ('com.tencent.tinker:tinker-patch-gradle-plugin:1.9.1')
    }
}
```

Then you need to "apply" the plugin and add dependencies by adding the following lines to your `app/build.gradle`.

```gradle
dependencies {
    //optional, help to generate the final application
    provided('com.tencent.tinker:tinker-android-anno:1.9.1')
    //tinker's main Android lib
    compile('com.tencent.tinker:tinker-android-lib:1.9.1')
}
...
...
apply plugin: 'com.tencent.tinker.patch'
```

If your app has a class that subclasses android.app.Application, then you need to modify that class, and move all its implements to [SampleApplicationLike](https://github.com/Tencent/tinker/blob/master/tinker-sample-android/app/src/main/java/tinker/sample/android/app/SampleApplicationLike.java) rather than Application:

```java
-public class YourApplication extends Application {
+public class SampleApplicationLike extends DefaultApplicationLike {
```

Now you should change your `Application` class, make it a subclass of [TinkerApplication](https://github.com/Tencent/tinker/blob/master/tinker-android/tinker-android-loader/src/main/java/com/tencent/tinker/loader/app/TinkerApplication.java). As you can see from its API, it is an abstract class that does not have a default constructor, so you must define a no-arg constructor:

```java
public class SampleApplication extends TinkerApplication {
    public SampleApplication() {
      super(
        //tinkerFlags, which types is supported
        //dex only, library only, all support
        ShareConstants.TINKER_ENABLE_ALL,
        // This is passed as a string so the shell application does not
        // have a binary dependency on your ApplicationLifeCycle class.
        "tinker.sample.android.app.SampleApplicationLike");
    }
}
```

Use `tinker-android-anno` to generate your `Application` is recommended, you just need to add an annotation for your [SampleApplicationLike](https://github.com/Tencent/tinker/blob/master/tinker-sample-android/app/src/main/java/tinker/sample/android/app/SampleApplicationLike.java) class

```java
@DefaultLifeCycle(
application = "tink
