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
