pxb.android.arsc

Class ArscParser

java.lang.Object

pxb.android.arsc.ArscParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

ResConst

public class ArscParser
extends Object
implements ResConst

Read the resources.arsc inside an Android apk. Usage:

 byte[] oldArscFile= ... ; //
 List<Pkg> pkgs = new ArscParser(oldArscFile).parse(); // read the file
 modify(pkgs); // do what you want here
 byte[] newArscFile = new ArscWriter(pkgs).toByteArray(); // build a new file
 

The format of arsc is described here (gingerbread)

• frameworks/base/libs/utils/ResourceTypes.cpp
• frameworks/base/include/utils/ResourceTypes.h

and the cmd line aapt d resources abc.apk is also good for debug (available in android sdk)

Todos:
