ExtractDexFromOat

Since Android L, DEX files in an APK will be transformed into OAT file when installed. An OAT file is actually ELF file whose
type is shared object. This tool first parses the OAT file and then stores the DEX files that are inside of the OAT file.

Dependency

Usage

Run the following command:

python main.py -f oat_file_path [-v {L,M,N}] [--fix-checksum]

• oat_file_path: The path of oat file.
