Allows application to override the creation of the application object. This can be used to perform things such as dependency injection or class loader changes to these classes.

This method is only intended to provide a hook for instantiation. It does not provide earlier access to the Application object. The returned object will not be initialized as a Context yet and should not be used to interact with other android APIs.

Params:
  • cl – The default classloader to use for instantiation.
  • className – The class to be instantiated.

Params:
