This concept of APK file infection on Android is similar to the concept of PE file infection on Windows systems. As the performance of Android device has increased, it's become possible to implement such a concept in Android systems. We will demonstrate how to implement this concept. In addition, we will also give a demo to show that a PoC virus can infect normal APK files in a real Android mobile phone.
