How to add an Life-cycle Method

[N1rv0us]

Hello, Dear Developer

I want to use --lifecycles-paths feature to define some special callees. I referenced the example in mariana-trench/configuration/lifecycles.json and wrote the following

[
  {
    "base_class_name": "Landroid/os/AsyncTask;",
    "method_name": "asynctask_lifecycle_wrapper",
    "callees": [
      {
        "method_name": "onPreExecute",
        "return_type": "V",
        "argument_types": []
      }
    ]
  }
]

Obviously, I want to add a method with the signature "Landroid/os/AsyncTask;->onPreExecute()V";
Also, in my target apk, there are subclasses that override this method.

But from the log output, it looks like I didn't succeed in adding lifecycle-methods

Unfortunately, I didn't find any documentation on the use of the lifecycle-method, so I hope you can add some, or tell me how to add it.

Through reading the source code, I basically understood the cause of the bug, and also had a preliminary understanding of the lifecycle feature .
However, I still don't understand much about the design of this feature, so I hope you can update this part of the documentation soon.

Thanks a lot
