Tools
- Android Development
- Android Security Review
- Dex2Jar : "...Android mobile device runs applications which have been converted into a compact Dalvik Executable (.dex) format. Dex2Jar converts .dex files to Java .class files..."
- ApkTool : "...It is a tool for reengineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc..."
- JD : Java Decompiler
- OWASP O2 Platform can be used to review the Android Java source code (create object model of compiled java code, search source-code files, model config files)
- Commercial tools (like Fortify, IBM AppScan Source) can parse Java files (the question is "Do they have Android Specific rules")
- iSec Partners have a number of Android related tools at https://www.isecpartners.com/mobile_application_tools.html
