apktool: Install and store a framework.

try on your machine

The command "apktool if" is used to instruct the apktool tool to add a specified framework file to the framework directory. It is often used to add a custom or modified framework file to the APK (Android Application Package) being decompiled or recompiled.

The command has the following syntax:

apktool if ${path-to-framework-apk}
  • apktool invokes the apktool tool.
  • if is the option telling apktool to add a framework file.
  • ${path-to-framework-apk} is the path to the framework APK file that needs to be added to the framework directory.

By using this command, developers can introduce customizations or modifications to the framework by adding a framework file tailored to their requirements, which will be used during the decompilation or recompilation process of an APK file.
