Using apktool to decompile apk file

Question

I tried extracting apk file using apktool. I followed steps mentioned below. Is there a way to get the source code from an APK file?

but i am not able to get it complete

Answer 1

I have followed https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/install/ link for windows and renamed jar file as "apktool.jar" with extra jar extension (ie.apktool.jar.jar) so I was getting "Error: Unable to access jarfile C:\APKtool\apktool.jar".

After renaming properly (removing extra .jar extension) , I am able to use "apktool.jar" properly.

I know it is silly mistake, but some time it happens :)
