APK Editor is a free app designed for Android that allows you to open and view/edit the contents of any APK file. Two editing modes are offered by APK Editor in order to appease users with varying needs. APK Editor is a great tool to have on hand for quickly making changes to APK files on the fly from your mobile device.

How It Works

An APK (Android Package) is a type of file that contains the programming and assets needed in order for the Android OS to install an app on a device. It is currently the most popular filetype used by Android developers to package app contents for quick installation. In some cases, you might need to actually open an APK file to view or edit the contents, and that's exactly what APK Editor was designed to do.

After installing APK Editor, you can import an APK file by simply selecting it from your digital storage or you can grab it from an existing app that has already been installed on your device. There are currently two modes for editing that satisfy users with differing sets of needs. The Simple Edit mode contains a much more compact and simple interface for changing minor details, while Full Edit mode allows you to drill right down to the base programming code and make deep-level edits to the APK file. Changes made in Full Edit mode will require recompilation of the APK once you are finished.

It's important to note that APK Editor offers a feature called "Hack App Data." Keep in mind that if you decide to use this feature, it's possible that Google might flag/ban your APK file. This tool is generally meant to be used by experienced users who have thorough knowledge of mobile app development. APK files or APK Editor itself can become unstable if this app is not used with care or caution.

Easily Edit APK Files on Your Mobile Device

Whether you're a user who likes poking around inside files or you're an Android developer looking for more tools to add to your arsenal, APK Editor is a great solution for tweaking APK files while on the go. It comes packed with an impressive number of settings and features, and the two editing modes make it an easy choice for virtually any user interested in Android development.
