Decoding APK Files in android [closed]

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21719269

Question

I tried to decode a published application from Google Play with its apk file by using dex2jar and apktool. I successfully manage to get its source code however, I am wondering why the hell I got this sets of codes(attached image)? I could not clearly get the package/s and the activity names of this app. I need it badly.

enter image description here

Is it because of encapsulation? How can I get the real code?

Was it helpful?

Solution

This is because Guy used the ProGuard for this APK. You can not do reverse engineering after that easily.

ProGuard is file shrinker, optimizer, obfuscator.

OTHER TIPS

Check this Link how to crack the Apk. But you won't get the complete code at all.. Because everyone uses ProGuard as @Williams said.

Partially you can understand if you're a more than a Geek

Use this tool to get the drawable like png and jpeg files.

To use formatter make a backup of you're apk before

  1. Select the apk
  2. Then give the format as .rar or .zip
  3. then extract the new archived file to see the drawables

Download Formatter
