Show Java

Show Java decompiles APK, JAR, and dex files on an Android device, including layouts, drawables, menus, AndroidManifest, and image assets. Version 3.0 can use CFR 0.140, JaDX 0.9.0, or Fernflower commit a0a8f0a. CFR runs from Jelly Bean upward. JaDX and Fernflower run on Nougat and Oreo. Output is written to a show-java folder on the device storage. The Play Store listing is version 3.0.5, and the GitHub build is 3.0.6.
