[IDE][3.x] APK Studio - IDE for Reverse Engineering Android APKs

Good job :good:

Great tool bro... I was wondering if you can help me with this thread = http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2648384

I tried your APK Studio. It looks great and would love to use it. But every time I try to open an APK,
it stopps with the message: "Unexpected error occured when extracting".

I tried it with framework-res.apk, SecLauncher3.apk and SystemUI.apk from Android Stock ROM (4.2.2).

Unfortunately I can't help you to fix that issue. But I hope that there will be soon a working version available.

help!

Hi,help please with this :click on the file> open APK> choose apk file> loading loading. & was stopped at the "decompiling com / google / android / gms / internal / h ... waiting 5-10 mins and nothing.

Thanks for sharing this app. After opening the Android binary ("Starting extraction process") I don't know why I get this: "Error: Java is not found".

This is not true, because on my Windows XP I have Java 7 Update 51.

Can you help me to solve this issue?

thank you for giving a tool

hello, xan u give me a shortest tutorial of making an app .jyst want an idea how to start.

Maybe Java is not set in your PATH. Just have a look at your Environment variables.

Thanks Praetoriani, but this doesn't seem to be the reason. I checked the Environment variables and I read this
(sorry I'm not allowed to post images yet)

C:\Programs\JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.2\bin;C:\Programs\JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.2\emulator\bin;

I really don't understand what's happening!

JavaFX is your web based Java development platform. It does stuff like netbeans and so forth. You need to download the Java JDK. You need to also set JAVA_HOME variable to the root of the SDK folder and you need to have the Java/SDK/bin directory as the only Java reference loaded on your path.

Essentially Windows will load the first Environment reference first and ignore the rest there after, so even if you had JDK bin directory tacked on the end apktool would probably return a fault before Windows would get around to loading the right binaries. What I mean is, leave Java FX installed (you may require if for something else?) and just delete their references from the Windows path and make sure the JAVA JDK is the only referenced or you can if you like make it referenced first and put the JavaFX after it. Essentially Apktool will find the reference for the JDK and then stop looking there after.

Once you have done that then you have to set the Java classpath. Google is your friend for all of the things I have mentioned above.

Here is the documentation you will need to have a read of to learn about setting up your Java environment successfully.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/windows/jdk-installation-windows.html

Seeing that you are on dying operating system you will need the JavaSE SDK win32 binaries. available here as a direct download:
http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u51-b13/jdk-7u51-windows-i586.exe

However you need to have clicked and accepted the Oracle TOU's before that link becomes live so go to hear, check the little radio button accept and bobs ya aunty you got Java.....the proper one as well.

Just a word of warning and it is none of my business in anyway but I would suggest that you upgrade Windows 7 or 8 in the coming months. You have a little over a month before all support for Windows XP ceases from Microsoft. That may not come as a concern to you right now, but it will be when you realise that every patch and update that goes out for Windows 7 there after is basically a road map for hackers and virus makers to completely destroy your XP machine!! Combined that with Java and you have the biggest recipe for disaster just waiting to happen.

Thanks to Praetoriani and Jarmezrocks your useful information could solve my issue!

The trick was mainly to enter a proper path in the Environment variables. First SDK, then FX (if necessary).
While inserting the SDK path, I discovered to have version 1.6, but not in the first place as suggested.

Also useful were the info to update the Java version and documentation, thanks again to Jarmezrocks, to learn about setting up my Java environment.

Regarding to the Windows XP system I'll think about it. I'm a Mac user and I'm using Windows XP only for few things, such as this to correctly use APK Studio to try to localize some app in my language. :good:

It's cool...great job

When i try to rebuild an apk, the status bar goes about half way and then says
unexpected error occurred when rebuilding.

Any idea what the problem may be?

Very Cool and Simple tool, speed improvement would be awesome
Thanks

Not Working App After Editing

I have a Application, I just Want to Change the String in Source, and want to add Toast after Adding and Rebulding, App Remain same as Original But the Layout will be Done..

Please Help me...

Help

Morning,
Great work, very useful for decompilation, compilation and signed application with little size (<200ko).
I have an PC for gamer.(i5, processor very strong, early mother card MSI, ...)
I don't decompile settings.apk. The decompilation stops at google/com/.../a/a....
Why?

Seems promising. Does it have Proguard decoding built into it if the mapping file is provided?

I had the same issues... Where do I find logs?

Great tool!

I've never tried to get into Android "reverse-engineering" because of the crappy cmd-thing. I face it everyday in Linux, so I didn't want to bother myself with again

Your tool is so amazing, it enables us [ GUI lovers ] to finally see some good code snippets!
Keep it up!


....

As some people mentioned earlier, the application actually makes crappy-old-computers lag and freeze.
But it's ok since it's targeting the ".Net Framework". << All my apps do the same

And another thing, you could rewrite this tool using Qt, dunno why, but I really detest Java!
