jadx - Dex to Java decompiler

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

❗ ❗ ❗ Please note that in most cases Jadx can't decompile all 100% of the code, so errors will occur. Check Troubleshooting guide for workarounds

Main features:

• decompile Dalvik bytecode to java classes 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 (thanks to @LBJ-the-GOAT), check wiki page for setup and usage

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

Download

• release from github:
• latest unstable build

After download unpack zip file go to bin directory and run:

• jadx - command line version
• jadx-gui - UI version

On Windows run .bat files with double-click
Note: ensure you have installed Java 11 or later 64-bit version. For windows you can download it from oracle.com (select x64 Installer).

Install

1. Arch linux

       sudo pacman -S jadx

2. macOS

       brew install jadx

Use jadx as a library

You can use jadx in your java projects, check details on wiki page

Build from source

JDK 8 or higher must be installed:

git clone https://github.com/skylot/jadx.git
cd jadx
./gradlew dist

(on Windows, use gradlew.bat instead of ./gradlew)

Scripts for run jadx will be placed in build/jadx/bin and also packed to build/jadx-<version>.zip
