xda-developers Android App APK - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am attempting to make a forum reader of my own for AndroidArea51. I was wondering if anyone has the apk so I can look at the code and see how it's done.
I WILL NOT be copying any code directly from the app, I just want to see how the information is pulled from the forums online onto the app.
Thanks.

Yes its on Google market.

If you mean by decompiling the apk to java or smali? Its not going to help you very much...
The XDA app is based off of the Tapatalk App. If you want to add support of your forum the best/easiest way would probably to go through Tapatalk.

Fixing Missing Apps from the Market?

Ok tried searching but not having any luck.trying to fix the missing apps from the market. Like E! Online and PayPal app and many more. I'm running odex froyo Rom with oclf and root. Can someone please help me fix this issue. It's been abiut a week and the apps still are not showing up. Thanks a million!

They are not going to show up because you are running a leaked firmware version that is not recognized by the market. You can do a couple things:
wait for the official 2.2 to come out and live without certain apps for a while, or search around the forums for a fix that involves editing your build.prop (I think) to make the market see a different (authorized) firmware version.
Man got to be a fix some where! Had a leaked Tom before and the missing apostle showed up some how.

Why don't you just google search for them? I found a link to the paypal apk download in seconds.
Go to 4 shared and download the .apk

OP, I agree with pdefazio, if you have tweaked it enough to be running a custom ROM, with lag fix, and root, you should easily be able to edit the build.prop file...
Ok found the PayPal app but still can't find e! Online,tmz and app drawer icon pack. Tried 4shared.com but no luck.using my web on my vibrant.don't have wifi at this moment.thanks a million!

VZW Specific App- Medco?

Since I am running a custom rom, I no longer get the VZW apps in market. I tried to download the Medco Pharmacy app from the android market and it said my device is not supported. I think because this app was developed in partner with VZW, it is only available on their app market- not in my rom.
Can anyone download it and post the apk somewhere for me?
It's totally not the end of the world if I don't get this app, but it would be nice to have.
Thanks
Got it... latest nightly allowed me to dl it.

Could you possibly post the apk file or a link to the apk file for the rest of us who would love the app but can't get it? Ty

Mate this really has NOTHING to do with SGS2 Development. This is Java/Android Development issues and there are 100000's of other resources available on the web for you to ask these questions.
MODS please delete this thread.

Need help with app!

Forgive me if this is in the wrong section. I dont get on often. Anyway, my friend develops apps for android, and he has created an app simular to GameCIH, except his is undetectable from anti cheat engines. The app isnt in an apk yet, though. He sent me the files, and wanted me to post them. Can anyone put it in apk format? I have no idea how. Thank You

Decompiling an app

I ask a question on your site several weeks ago about the default messaging app on Samsung Galaxy s2 aokp jelly bean. It seems that if someone sends me a picture with text the picture covers to text and I can't read it. I asked if there was any way to correct it and below is the answer I got. I am sorry to disagree with whoever posted this however that is not a simple fix. I have Google and look for how to decompile a app and I am unable to find a app to edit a apk file. I am NOT asking for a step by step but surely someone can recommend an app I can download that would allow me to open the MMS app and edit it. Once again this is not a simple fix perhaps it is for you but it is not for me thank you for your time
This is a simple issue that the user can fix. Just have to decompile the apk and adjust the spacing. A search would have saved you opening a new thread.

If you search xda or google you will find plenty of tools that will do that for you.
I really do appreciate all the hard work that xda developers do. I do not like posting on here because I know your time is important but I also don't want to feel belittled. Have searched your site perhaps I'm poor at searching. Is there an app you would suggest that I could download to my phone or Android tablet to edit apk file. Thanks so much

Apktool, the app by virtuous team, and i think apk manager
Sent by from my Zanpakuto using Getsuga Tensho!
Thanks so much however after posting this I updated to the newest aokp and the issue is resolved. It does still have the sender's name overlapping the date but not the picture overlapping the message. Thanks so much and I will still try the suggested APK editor.

Go check out the Android development guide by Google, you can get several tools to decompile an apk. As well as .dex file

I agree that response was pretty rude. I'm guessing they were trying to scare you away rather than giving advice on next steps. That if you don't know how to do what they said you'd leave it to those that do know how.
But on to your original question...
Wikipedia's location for APK format (can't post link as I'm too new) says that the file is just a ZIP file (or JAR file). So likely 7-zip or your favorite program that can open ZIP's/JAR's will work. You might have to rename the extension to .ZIP or .JAR for the program to recognize it.
Nobody was being rude. We told him to search and that there are plenty of resources already available to him. Nothing wrong with that. Good luck and happy flashing.
The post was mine and it was not rude in the least. The information for what you need to do is posted. Has been for a few years now. Ever since people started doing customs themes. You will not be able to do this without a computer. All you have to do is decompile the apk, find the XML that displays the mms message and adjust the spacing by a few pixels. And then recompile the apk. There are tut all over the place on how to do this
You may have to be creative in your searches to be lead where you need to go but that is part of the learning that android requires. Sometimes you need to think outside the box to get the outcome you desire.

This only works for 35% of the apk as the XML files are encrypted until decompiled as are the .9 pngs
