Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root settings.gradle at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Add it in your settings.gradle.kts at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
		}
	}

Add to pom.xml

	<repositories>
		<repository>
		    <id>jitpack.io</id>
		    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:

 
    resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"

Add it in your project.clj at the end of repositories:

 
    :repositories [["jitpack" "https://jitpack.io"]]

Step 2. Add the dependency

	dependencies {
		implementation 'com.github.dwatling:apk-decompiler:v1.1.0'
	}
	dependencies {
		implementation("com.github.dwatling:apk-decompiler:v1.1.0")
	}
	<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.dwatling</groupId>
	    <artifactId>apk-decompiler</artifactId>
	    <version>v1.1.0</version>
	</dependency>

                            
    libraryDependencies += "com.github.dwatling" % "apk-decompiler" % "v1.1.0"
        
        

                            
    :dependencies [[com.github.dwatling/apk-decompiler "v1.1.0"]]

Readme

APK Decompiler

This project makes it easy to convert an installed Android app that was built with the Android SDK into readable source files.

How to use:

  • Ensure you have ADB installed
  • Attach your Android device
  • Run dist/decompile.bat <package or keyword>

That's it! The output will be a zip file of the passed in package or keyword that contains as much of the decompiled code as possible.

NOTE: There will be no .java files, but .class files will be generated. I'd recommend using something like JD-Gui (https://github.com/java-decompiler/jd-gui/releases) to convert it into Java code.

Some of the dependent projects are not able to parse all APKs, so it isn't guaranteed to be a complete decompilation. If you see any problems during the run of APK Decompiler, I would encourage you to file a bug report with the appropriate project author!

APK Decompiler wraps the following projects:

  • dex2jar (https://bitbucket.org/pxb1988/dex2jar) - Generates Java .class files
  • apktool (https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/) - Generates readable resource files

Building

mvn clean package -U
