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 casesjadxcan't decompile all 100% of the code, so errors will occur.
CheckTroubleshooting guidefor workarounds.

Main features:

• decompile Dalvik bytecode to Java code from APK, dex, aar, aab and zip files
• decodeAndroidManifest.xmland other resources fromresources.arsc
• deobfuscator included

jadx-gui features:

• view decompiled code with highlighted syntax
• jump to declaration
• find usage
• full text search
• smali debugger, checkwiki pagefor setup and usage

Jadx-gui key bindings can be foundhere

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

Download

• release fromgithub:
• latestunstable build

After download unpack zip file go tobindirectory and run:

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

On Windows run.batfiles with double-click
Note:ensure you have installed Java 11 or later 64-bit version. For Windows, you can download it fromoracle.com(select x64 Installer).

Install

• Arch Linux

  sudo pacman -S jadx

• macOS

  brew install jadx

• Flathub

  flatpak install flathub com.github.skylot.jadx

Use jadx as a library

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

Build from source

JDK 11 or higher must be installed:

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

(on Windows, usegradlew.batinstead of./gradlew)

Scripts for run jadx will be placed inbuild/jadx/bin and also packed tobuild/jadx-<version>.zip
