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.
Check Troubleshooting guide for workarounds.
Main features:
- decompile Dalvik bytecode to Java code from APK, dex, aar, aab and zip files
- decode
AndroidManifest.xml
and 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, check wiki page for setup and usage
Jadx-gui key bindings can be found here
See these features in action here: jadx-gui features overview
- release from github:
- latest unstable build
After download unpack zip file go to bin
directory and run:
jadx
- command line versionjadx-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).
- Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S jadx
- macOS
brew install jadx
- Flathub
flatpak install flathub com.github.skylot.jadx
You can use jadx in your java projects, check details on wiki page
JDK 11 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
