How to get source code from android application?

Question

Android

How can I get the source files of an android application (pictures, music, fonts...).
I tried to open it through the archiver, and there are only files with the extension .ddx or .ddv with very strange names.

Answer 1

What's the application? Probably, this is a game, it has some kind of engine, and this is the format of its files. You need to google these extensions, this engine. And if there really is no information really about them, then try to explore them with a HEX editor and / or dig the game itself: if the necessary code is written in Java in it, then use fernflower and jd-gui (and smali is still possible - it will return asm, but but without errors), and if in C ++ (it lies in the libs folder, not lib) - then IDA Pro + Hex-Rays.

Answer 2

An APK file is a kind of archive, but you won't be able to open it with WinRar. To do this, there are utilities like APK Manager that decompile the application, parsing it into files and folders. The resulting files can be modified and the application can be compiled back. Also, when compiling, it must be signed for it to work.

Answer 3

There are many decompilers for apk packages, you have to search and find a tool that is convenient for you.
I use ShowJava decompiler and APK Manager
