**Let’s get started.**

We will need the following tools in order to start working:

Dex2jar - _download from here_: [https://sourceforge.net/projects/dex2jar/](https://sourceforge.net/projects/dex2jar/)

Jd-gui - _download from here_: [http://jd.benow.ca/](http://jd.benow.ca/)

**Follow the steps below:**

1. Rename your apk from _name.apk_ to _name.zip_
2. Extract the contents
3. Copy _class.dex_ and paste it into your dex2jar directory (You might have multiple class.dex files depending on the app)
4. Open CMD and navigate to dex2jar’s path.
5. Execute the following command: _d2j-dex2jar.bat class.dex_ or _d2j-dex2jar.bat class.dex class2.dex etc._ if you have more than one .dex files.
6. This should spawn new .jar files. Run jd-gui and open the jar files.
7. That’s it.

**Happy learning!**
