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 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 for setup and usage

Jadx-gui key bindings can be found here

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

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 on wiki 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, 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
