jadx - Dex to Java decompiler

Command-line and GUI tools for producing Java source code from Android Dex and APK files

[!WARNING] Please note that in most cases jadx can't decompile 100% of the code, so errors will occur.
Check the Troubleshooting guide for workarounds.

Main features:

• decompile Dalvik bytecode to Java code from APK, dex, aab, apks, apkm, xapk and zip files
• also decompile Java bytecode (jar, class, aar) and smali files
• decode AndroidManifest.xml and other resources from resources.arsc
• deobfuscator included

jadx-gui features:

• view decompiled code with syntax highlighting
• jump to declaration
• find usage
• full-text search
• smali debugger, see the wiki page for setup and usage

Key bindings for jadx-gui can be found here
