Pro.DEX — API for parsing Android DEX files

Overview

The Pro.DEX module contains the API for parsing Android DEX files.

Disassembling

The following code example demonstrates how to disassemble the classes of an Android DEX file.

from Pro.Core import *
from Pro.DEX import *

def disassembleDEXClasses(fname):
    c = createContainerFromFile(fname)
    if c.isNull():
        return
    obj = DEXObject()
    if not obj.Load(c):
        return
    classes = obj.Classes()
    class_count = classes.Count()
    for i in range(class_count):
        out = NTTextBuffer()
        obj.Disassemble(out, i)
        print(out.buffer)

Method Enumeration

The following code example shows how to enumerate the methods in the classes of an Android DEX file.

from Pro.Core import *
from Pro.DEX import *

def enumerateDEXMethods(fname):
    c = createContainerFromFile(fname)
    if c.isNull():
        return
    obj = DEXObject()
    if not obj.Load(c):
        return
    classes = obj.Classes()
    class_count = classes.Count()
    for i in range(class_count):
        class_name = obj.ClassIndexToString(i, True)
        print("class:", class_name)
        cd = ClassData()
        if obj.GetClassData(i, cd):
            for it in (cd.direct_methods.iterator(), cd.virtual_methods.iterator()):
                while it.hasNext():
                    m = it.next()
                    method_name = obj.MethodIndexToString(m.index)
                    print("   method:", method_name)
                    ci = CodeItem()
                    if obj.GetCodeItem(m.code_off, ci, False):
                        print("       code offset:", hex(ci.code_offset), "- code size (in words):", hex(ci.insns_size))

An example output of the code:

class: com.android.providers.applications.ApplicationLauncher
   method: void <init>()
       code offset: 0x14e0 - code size (in words): 0x4
   method: void launchApplication(android.net.Uri)
       code offset: 0x14f8 - code size (in words): 0x4b
   method: void showSearchResults(java.lang.String)
       code offset: 0x15ac - code size (in words): 0x1d
