Method 1
apktool+dex2jar+jd-gui
apktool function: the acquisition of resource files, you can extract image files and layout files for viewing
dex2jar function: decompile apk into java source (classes.dex into jar files)
jd-gui: Look at the jar file converted from classes.dex in APK, which is the source file

1. Resource Decompilation
Download, install and use apktool
First, download the tools apktool needs from the official website: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/.
Download address: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/install/
Installation steps:
https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/install/
It's clear that the apktool tool we downloaded needs to be renamed apktool.jar, and the apktool.sh(Linux system) is downloaded and placed in a folder.
The usage is as follows:
apktool.jar bydr dial googlePinyin.apk IPVideoTalk_1.0.0.9.apk kongge_145 MoretvApp3.2.1.apk Skypeforbusiness.apk
apktool.sh bydr.apk dial.apk googleTalk IPVideoTalkPro kongge_145.apk qq_5.1.1.6062_android Softphone

2. Source Decompilation
Convert the DEX file retained in the previous step into a jar file using the dex2jar tool
After downloading dex2jar, the classes.dex file is copied to the decompressed directory, and classes.dex is transformed into jar package by. / d2j-dex2jar.sh tool.
linhu@linhu-Lenovo:~/document/Android_Notes/difProject/difTools/dex2jar-2.0$ ls
classes.dex d2j-dex2jar.bat d2j-dex2smali.sh d2j_invoke.bat d2j-jar2dex.sh d2j-jasmin2jar.bat d2j-smali.sh lib
d2j-baksmali.bat d2j-dex2jar.sh d2j-dex-recompute-checksum.bat d2j_invoke.sh d2j-jar2jasmin.bat d2j-jasmin2jar.sh d2j-std-apk.bat
d2j-baksmali.sh d2j-dex2smali.bat d2j-dex-recompute-checksum.sh d2j-jar2dex.bat d2j-jar2jasmin.sh d2j-smali.bat d2j-std-apk.sh
linhu@linhu-Lenovo:~/document/Android_Notes/difProject/difTools/dex2jar-2.0$ ./d2j-dex2jar.sh classes.dex
dex2jar classes.dex -> ./classes-dex2jar.jar
3. Open jar with jd-gui tool
Open the jar file with the jd-gui tool, and choose to save the source file from the file menu.
Method two
jadx is a very useful decompiling tool, which can decompile java files directly by opening apk.
brief introduction
Jadx is a very useful open source decompilation tool with the following characteristics:
- Graphical interface.
- Drag-and-drop operation.
- Decompiled output Java code.
- Export Gradle project.
Installation and use
jadx itself is an open source project, and the source code is already open source on Github.
Jadx Github :
Jadx Project Links
Interested can directly clone source code, and then compile it locally. But in most cases, we need a compiled version. The compiled version can be downloaded from sourceforge.
Sorceforge downloads jadx.
