APK-Info for Windows with source

Here's a little AutoIt app I threw together.

It shows various info about APK files such as version, permissions, resolutions etc. You can also rename the APK file to a proper name.

It mainly uses aapt.exe from the SDK and Info-Zips unzip.exe so no great coding on my side (besides way too many globals ;)).

You can either run it by itself or pass an APK file as parameter.

Edit: a little rephrasing

Nice, how about a content plugin?

If only AutoIt could create DLLs ;)

But seriously it's hard to decide on a programming language nowadays.
.Net plugins aren't possible afaik, C is way too much for my daily needs and getting into Pascal might not be worth it? I'll have a look at Lazarus.

There is a script plugin, but unfortunately only for Javascript and Vbscript:

To show apk version info, the shell extension for Windows Explorer exist (this function is supported since v 2.2). It is open source (Apache License 2.0), however requires .Net Framework, so I'm not sure if it's easy to convert it to wdx plugin.

p.s. is seems that multiupload.com currently is down.

The DL link is not working anymore, can you re-up this?
Thx!

btw: i'd really appreciate a content plugin. If it would then be possible to extract the package name somehow, it should be possible to add a button to TC Commandbar that

1. adb uninstall packagename(of selected filename.APK)
2. adb install filename.apk

would be very useful :)

I know that this thread is for APK-Info, but I only write that there is also an alternative: ApkSpy. More here

I've updated APK-Info to include some newer SDK levels, Market/Play links, small UI changes and a new icon.

API levels added:
15 - 4.0.3-4 - Ice Cream Sandwich MR1
16 - 4.1.x - Jelly Bean
17 - 4.2.x - Jelly Bean MR1

GUI changes:
Expanded some labels for better readability
Updated App store related strings, e.g. > 'Visit Market' market.android.com > 'Play Store' play.google.com
Removed underscore from 'NewFileName' and 'v' from version string; e.g. > New Name_1.1.apk

Other:
Updated aapt.exe to a more effecient binary
New Icon

Thanks for jazzruby ~

This App is so wonderful to analysis the APK file in Windows.
The 0.2 version works great for "Google Maps v7" APK file.

Would you like to add the "Install" button for APK install directly?
It's easy using "adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll" to do this.

I originall just wanted to update APK-Info to pick-up the newer API levels and make some minor UI adjustments, but this is an interesting idea.

Do you know if ZoSTeR is still active I tried to PM but was unsuccessful.

Yes, I'm still active but I'm currently using an iPhone. For better or worse...

If you want to add features go right ahead, consider it GPLed ;)

OK

Quite a popular little app; my MediaFire account shows 1709 downloads (as of this post)

I posted it at XDA HERE and Android Police posted on their site HERE
