What is Droideley?
Droideley is an open-source alternative to commercial Android app analysis tools like APK Studio. It allows you to disassemble, debug, and modify Android apps (APKs) through an easy-to-use graphical interface.
Some key features of Droideley include:
- Displays the full Android manifest file and resources like images and XML layouts
- Shows the Java source code and Smali assembly code
- Supports editing Smali code, resources, manifest
- Recompiles modified code back into a working APK
- Database viewer for inspecting SQLite databases
- Works on Windows, Mac and Linux
Droideley enables both reverse engineering of existing apps to understand how they work as well as building modified versions. It's a useful tool for Android developers and hobbyists to tinker with APKs. The interface is intuitive enough for those new to Android app development.
