• Zygote is a special Android OS process that enables shared code across Dalvik/Art VM in contrast with Java VM where each instance has its own copy of core...
  • In Linux systems one can easily inject any code or library with modifying LD_PRELOAD but in Android JVM is already forked from zygote once an app is running.
  • This method is called once every time the Application Zygote is started. It is normally started the first time an isolated service that uses it is started.

  • Android Problem Overview. I am trying to understand how Android launches applications. The question is how (and why) does the Zygote fork a new Dalvik VM?
  • As a solution to this problem, android has a facility named Zygote. The Zygote enables code sharing across the Dalvik Virtual Machine.
