This tool can be used to convert binary xml file into human readable xml file and to convert normal xml file into binary xml file.

Description

This tool is used to decode binary xml file from android apps into human readable xml file and to encode human readable xml file into binary xml file.

Adding in project

Just copy axml folder and add it in your project directory or download AxmlXml.jar from releases and put it in libs folder of your project.

Usage - Decoding binary xml

If you want to decode a binary xml file from sdcard and take decoded xml as a String. Then call this function.

InputStream inputFile = new FileInputStream("BinaryXmlFilePath");
String decodedXml = AxmlUtil.decode(inputFile);  

If you want to decode a binary xml file and put it somewhere in sdcard then call this function

InputStream inputFile = new FileInputStream("BinaryXmlFilePath");
AxmlUtil.decode(inputFile, "OutputFilePath");

Usage - Encoding normal xml

If you want to encode a xml file and take encoded xml as byte array then use this function

byte[] encodedXml = AxmlUtil.encodeFile("NormalXmlFilePath");

If tou want to encode xml file and put it somewhere in sdcard then use this function

AxmlUtil.encodeFile("NormalXmlFilePath", "OutputFilePath");

Usage - Using cli version

To decode a binary xml file use this command

java -jar AxmlXml-CLI.jar -d inputFilePath outputFilePath

To encode a xml file use this command

java -jar AxmlXml-CLI.jar -e inputFilePath outputFilePath

Note

Don't forget to add this rule in your proguard config file if you are using proguard.

-keep class axml.xml.** { *; } 

If you don't add this in proguard then AxmlUtil will not work while encoding a xml file.
