Android unsafe wrapper around internal sun.misc.Unsafe api

Android unsafe wrapper (Experimental)

Documented android unsafe wrapper for using internal sun.misc.Unsafe api. Android has no sun.misc.Unsafe class in standard sdk library. This library solves this problem by using compiled direct access to system class library (without using reflection).

Use only for experimental proposes and between pre-compiled dependency from jcenter because sun.misc.Unsafe doesn't included in sdk library and you just cannot create Unsafe class from source code!

For more explanation see this articles list:

2. http://mishadoff.com/blog/java-magic-part-4-sun-dot-misc-dot-unsafe

Adding:

For using in your own projects just add jcenter repository superset:

repositories {
    maven {
       url  "https://dl.bintray.com/letuananh035/maven"
    }
}

And after it you should just add as compile dependency:

implementation 'com.letuananh035:unsafe:0.0.7'

Usage:

You should use UnsafeAndroid library class for Unsafe class access:

final UnsafeAndroid unsafe = new UnsafeAndroid();
final Bitmap bitmap = unsafe.allocateInstance(Bitmap.class);
