It would be so much easier to be able to edit .java files directly from an apk, but we are forced to work with .smali instead. Its just so much harder to edit these human-friendly xml files. I looked all over, but found no tutorials related to .smali.
APKTool decompiles apk source codes to .smali, dex2jar decompiles and decrypts .dex to .jar, then a Java Decompiler is able to, somewhat, turn .class files inside the .jar into .java. The translation is not perfect, but readable nonetheless.
I would work with .smali, but I would like a tutorial to see how it translates to .java.
