**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](https://github.com/skylot/jadx/wiki/Troubleshooting-Q&A#decompilation-issues) 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](https://github.com/skylot/jadx/wiki/Smali-debugger) for setup and usage
Jadx-gui key bindings can be found [here](https://github.com/skylot/jadx/wiki/JADX-GUI-Key-bindings)
