Information

A wrapper function is a subroutine in a software library or a computer program whose main purpose is to call a second subroutine or a system call with little or no additional computation.

A Wrapper can be written for each third party function and used in the native application. Wrapper functions are used to make writing computer programs easier by abstracting away the details of a subroutine's underlying implementation, especially in the development of applications that use third-party library functions.

In case the third party functions change or are updated, only the wrappers in the native application need to be modified as opposed to changing all instances of third-party functions in the native application. The following figure shows you the components and function of a mobile Wrapper:
