Usage

Initialize

require 'android_parser'

apk = Android::Apk.new('sample.apk') # set apk file path

Apk

Listing files in Apk

# listing files in apk
apk = Android::Apk.new('sample.apk')
apk.each_file do |name, data|
  puts "#{name}: #{data.size}bytes" # puts file name and data size
end

Find files in Apk

apk = Android::Apk.new('sample.apk')
elf_files = apk.find{|name, data| data[0..3] == [0x7f, 0x45, 0x4c, 0x46] } # ELF magic number

Extract icon data in Apk (since 0.6.0)

apk = Android::Apk.new('sample.apk')
icons = apk.icon # { "res/drawable-hdpi/ic_launcher.png" => "\x89PNG\x0D\x0A...", ... }
icons.each do |name, data|
  File.open(File.basename(name), 'wb') {|f| f.write data } # save to file.
end

Extract v1 signature and certificate information from Apk (since v0.7.0)

apk = Android::Apk.new('sample.apk')
signs = apk.signs # retrun Hash(key: signature file path, value: OpenSSL::PKCS7)
signs.each do |path, sign|
  puts path # => "MATA-INF/CERT.RSA" or ...
  puts sign # => "-----BEGIN PKCS7-----\n..." PKCS7 object
end

certs = apk.certificates # retrun Hash(key: signature file path, value: OpenSSL::X509::Certificate)
certs.each do |path, cert|
  puts path # => "MATA-INF/CERT.RSA" or ...
  puts cert # => "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n..." # X509::Certificate object
end

Note: Most apks have only one signature and cerficate.

Manifest

Get readable xml

apk = Android::Apk.new('sample.apk')
manifest = apk.manifest
puts manifest.to_xml

Listing components and permissions

apk = Android::Apk.new('sample.apk')
manifest = apk.manifest
# listing components
manifest.components.each do |c| # 'c' is Android::Manifest::Component object
  puts "#{c.type}: #{c.name}"
  c.intent_filters.each do |filter|
    puts "\t#{filter.type}"
  end
end

# listing use-permission tag
manifest.use_permissions.each do |permission|
  puts permission
end

Extract application label string

apk = Android::Apk.new('sample.apk')
puts apk.manifest.label

Resource

Extract resource strings from apk

apk = Android::Apk.new('sample.apk')
rsc = apk.resource
rsc.strings.each do |str|
  puts str
end

Parse resource file directly

rsc_data = File.open('resources.arsc', 'rb').read{|f| f.read }
rsc = Android::Resource.new(rsc_data)

Resolve resource id

This feature supports only srting resources for now.

apk = Android::Apk.new('sample.apk')
rsc = apk.resource

# assigns readable resource id
puts rsc.find('@string/app_name') # => 'application name'

# assigns hex resource id
puts rsc.find('@0x7f040000') # => 'application name'

# you can set lang attribute.
puts rsc.find('@0x7f040000', :lang => 'ja')

Dex

Extract dex information

apk = Android::Apk.new('sample.apk')
dex = apk.dex
# listing string table in dex
dex.strings.each do |str|
  puts str
end

# listing all class names
dex.classes.each do |cls| # cls is Android::Dex::ClassInfo
  puts "class: #{cls.name}"
  cls.virtual_methods.each do |m| # Android::Dex::MethodInfo
    puts "\t#{m.definition}" # puts method definition
  end
end

Parse dex file directly

dex_data = File.open('classes.dex','rb').read{|f| f.read }
dex = Android::Dex.new(dex_data)
