How to View and Export Android Package Manifest with Stanley
Hello, everyone!
I'd like to tell you about an Android open source app called Stanley.
With this app. we can explore the inside of the android app.
Now, I'll tell about things to do.
Step 1
You can download the app from play store
Step 2
Open it, then you can look at this. We can sort by the name, package, installed first or updated.
Also, we can search for an app.
Step 3
This is for example. I choose dompet bitcoin app, then I want to explore its resources files such as drawables. We can do that by clicking this one.
We will get into the drawable files.
I try to explore where's an app icon should be placed. I see the icon name is ic_btc.png.
Step 4
We also can know the major of package activities, even we're able to export the manifest.xml.
If you tap long, it will be like this.
If you tap short, it will be like this, but both are the same.
Tap the saved file at the location.
Open up the exported manifest.xml file.
But, it's not only that. This can view and do the same thing for system apps. First, you need to uncheck this option, "Ignore System Apps". This will allow you to view the system apps, too.
The result will be like this.
You can see its activities and others, too, whereas it's a system app. That's pretty cool.
Even you can export its manifest.xml file, too, without decompile first.
Open up and here is the result. As you can see, it's amazing can be done to system app.
This app is really useful, especially for themers and modders, because they need to know what's icon name to be themed through the resources/drawables and the MainActivity or the activity they want to import to their mods.
