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 all 100% of the code, so errors will occur.<br /> Check Troubleshooting guide for workarounds.

Main features:

decompile Dalvik bytecode to Java code from APK, dex, aar, aab and zip files
decode AndroidManifest.xml and other resources from resources.arsc
deobfuscator included

jadx-gui features:

view decompiled code with highlighted syntax
jump to declaration
find usage
full text search
smali debugger, check wiki page for setup and usage

Jadx-gui key bindings can be found here

See these features in action here: jadx-gui features overview
