Apktool
A tool for reverse engineering Android apk files
A tool for reverse engineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications. It also makes working with an app easier because of the project like file structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc. It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms, analyzing applications and much more. The decode option on Apktool can be invoked either from d or decode. In order to run a rebuilt application. You must resign the application. Android documentation can help with this. As you probably know, Android apps utilize code and resources that are found on the Android OS itself. These are known as framework resources and Apktool relies on these to properly decode and build apks. -

Dagger
Fast dependency injector for Android and Java
Dagger is a fully static, compile-time dependency injection framework for Java, Kotlin, and Android. It is an adaptation of an earlier version created by Square and now maintained by Google. The latest Dagger release is: Dagger 2.33. Dagger aims to address many of the development and performance issues that have plagued reflection-based solutions. Dagger is a replacement for the FactoryFactory classes that implements the dependency injection design pattern without the burden of writing the boilerplate. It allows you to focus on the interesting classes. Declare dependencies, specify how to satisfy them, and ship your app. Dependency injection frameworks have existed for years with a whole variety of APIs for configuring and injecting. So, why reinvent the wheel? Dagger 2 is the first to implement the full stack with generated code. The guiding principle is to generate code that mimics the code that a user might have hand-written to ensure that dependency injection is simple. -

An APK optimized by ReDex should be smaller and faster than its source. Redex provides a framework for reading, writing, and analyzing .dex files, and a set of optimization passes that use this framework to improve the bytecode. An APK optimized by Redex should be smaller and faster. Fewer bytes also means faster download times, faster install times, and lower data usage for cell users. Lastly, less bytecode also typically translates into faster runtime performance. Redex has deep integration with Buck where your Redex config is passed as a parameter to the Buck android_binary rule when generating the APK. -

HTML Onlive Debugger
Realtime preview for designers and developers.
When I got my first Android tablet; I realized how much web design and development were such a tedious process for a large majority of tablet and smart phone users. I found no applications available in Google Play that enabled live code debugging which gave me the incentive to develop one myself. After purchasing Google's developer fee, as well as AIDE I then released on Google Play for all to use. -
