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

1. dex-reader/writer: Read/write the Dalvik Executable (.dex) file. It features a lightweight 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
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.
