Apps Help! Deleted android project but have the apk file

idevand

Lurker
I was working on an android app and wanted to test it on my friend's phone so I extracted it in somehow to an .apk file so he could install it, and then deleted the whole project by accident from my computer, but i still got the .apk file (4shared saved me)
is there any way to get it back to eclipse to continue developing?

I also have it installed in my AVD when I used to run it for debug it was installed before because I have debugged it alot of times, it works perfectly when I launch the AVD, if that could get it too in somehow?
 
The apk file is a zip file, rename it to zip and then extract it. Then you have your .class file. With some java decompiler you should be able to get some code back. I don't know if a java decompiler can recover some of the Android api's, but you'll be able to recover some parts i think.
