Xposed - how to hook Date Class android

Question

As you can see below to get date when we use this code

Date date = new Date();
System.out.print("Due date:", date);

now how can i change the date before displaying result ,as it is not using any method so how to hook something like above ?

is there any way we can hook this to change result with xpose hook module ?

Answer 1

Your assumption "it is not using any method" is simply wrong. Your sample code uses two "methods" that can be hooked by Xposed:

The first "method" is the Date() constructor. You can hook it using XposedHelpers.findAndHookConstructor(..) . In the afterHookedMethod(..) you could then modify the date object.

The second method is Date.toString() . It is a regular constructor and can be hooked like any other method.
