Tools to work with android .dex and java .class files

  1. dex-reader/writer: Read/write the Dalvik Executable (.dex) file. It has a light weight API similar with ASM.
  2. d2j-dex2jar: Convert .dex file to .class files (zipped as jar)
  3. smali/baksmali: disassemble dex to smali files and assemble dex from smali files. different implementation to smali/baksmali, same syntax, but we support escape in type desc "Lcom/dex2jar\t\u1234;"
  4. other tools: d2j-decrypt-string

Usage

  1. In the root directory run: ./gradlew distZip
  2. cd dex-tools/build/distributions
  3. Unzip the file dex-tools-2.1-SNAPSHOT.zip (file size should be ~5 MB)
  4. Run d2j-dex2jar.sh from the unzipped directory

Example usage:

sh d2j-dex2jar.sh -f ~/path/to/apk_to_decompile.apk

And the output file will be apk_to_decompile-dex2jar.jar.
