We use Eclipse for making android apps. Is there any way to open APK files in Eclipse, so I can view their source folder, etc. and do any editing? I've used APK Multi tool and APK Manager, but I wanted to open an APK in Eclipse. Any help would be appreciated.

Not possible, APKs are compiled code. there is no source left to see. Your best bet is to contact the developer and ask for source code

That's false you can Indeed see the source code with a little help of dex2jar and apktool.
AND hope there is no code obfuscation like proguard.

Doesnt eclipse need java source code?
You should use Virtuous Ten Studio to decompile the apk and make sure "Generate Java Source" is checked
for adding your own features in settings....decompile with dependencies define new header in strings.xml and give corresponding image files and create the neccesary smali files.... i don know much of programming refer this thread for basic mods............

Ok i did this. great program by the way, but its java source is just generated as .class files and no .java files. Everything else was perfect but i need the .java files to actually edit and write new methods.

Hello, @bkgroup,

Thanks for quick resolution. I have heard about android app, that we can directly edit file from that. Is that android app to edit apk file is effective? does it really edit apps like apktool?
try virtuous ten studio, much better.

I think, if have all necessary files, you need to compile a project from android studio.
There are several topics that will help you.

From the way you worded it it sounds more like you have a decompiled apk, not the source code for the apk. Depending on what you want to edit you may need the actual source code to make the changes. What are you trying to do?

I m trying to get admin permissions by editing codes. i got some codes with dex2jar from classses.dex file . and game got commands ... some commands like give money , health , energy etc need admin or modarator permissions. for example "super("Armor", SocialEnums.UserRole.Admin);" in codes its admin but i can change it to Player so then i can use that comman.
if i cant get admin - modarator permissins then i can edit prices of items to free but as i said i need to learn how to re-create apk

What you are trying to do is considered cracking an app which makes it warez. This is banned on this site. You will find no help doing what you want. As for decompiling and recompiling an apk there are tut all over the site. Search and you fill find what you need. But take this as your warning. Asking for help cracking the app will get you banned. Take this as your only warning.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone with the expertise would know how to compile a module that was made for marshmallow to bring it to nougat. Sadly the developer has abandoned the project and closed the xda thread, while not responding to messages.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/lp-knock-code-screen-t3272679
that is the module in question. I have tried to decompile the apk and recompile after making a few changes, however it just worsened the case.

Any chance you cloned its git repo? Not only he won't answer any message but he had the incredibly selfish-prick act of deleting the git repo for Knock code so no one can work on it!

Yep, that is the main reason I haven't been able to work on it myself. Nor am i good enough to reverse engineer the apk.
Here you have the source code.
I haven't the ability to work on it for myself and it would be safer if someone more capable would do it, but at least i gave you the source code and hope it'a useful.
I would recommend you as well to open a new thread with the source code link on first page to get more people to work on it and hope we can get the knock code back.
Big ups, tell me if it was helpful.

Edit: remember this is a non-flashable zip, in case you were wondering, it's the apk just decompiled, unzip it and inside you have the whole amount of java files that contain the source code
You will need an app able to unzip files and read java files.
Otherwise download it to your computer (recommended)
