Provisioning of application modules to Android devices

The Google Android platform supports provisioning of packaged applications to an Android device. However, an existing approach requires user´s interaction during the installation of a new application or its modules. We present a new approach to dynamic modules loading which enables provisioning of new modules to Android device dynamically without the interaction with the user. It will allow complex applications to adapt to the surrounding conditions and requirements of the user by downloading additional code from a server or a neighboring peer device. In our solution we propose to replace the default application class-loader with a custom one while employing some existing mechanisms of class-loading from APK packages at the Android platform.
