dexdump: Extract classes and methods from an APK file.

dexdump

$ dexdump ${filename-apk}

try on your machine

The command "dexdump ${filename-apk}" is used to analyze and extract information from an Android application package (APK) file.

"Dexdump" is a command-line tool that comes with the Android SDK (Software Development Kit). It allows you to inspect the Dalvik Executable (DEX) files contained within an APK. DEX is a file format specific to the Android platform and contains the compiled bytecode of the Android application.

The "${filename-apk}" part is a placeholder that represents the name of the APK file you want to analyze. You should replace this placeholder with the actual name of the APK file you want to inspect.

When you run this command, the "dexdump" tool will decompile the DEX files within the APK and provide you with information about the classes, methods, and resources contained within the application. This can be useful for debugging, reverse engineering, or analyzing the behavior of an Android application.
