How to import or copy apk file to eclipse,i had tried importing but i could not as i dint get the correct procedure right.

I had created an app and i signed-in and exported it from eclipse....

After few days i thought that it is useless in eclipse so i deleted it from eclipse.

Now i want to update that particular app file

So how do i get it back to the eclipse with all the source code and all.

If there is a procedure please give it step by step as i am a newbie.

There is no easy way of getting the source code from an APK.

You can use a tool like APKTool.

You should save the source code if you plan to edit it later on.

  • You can try to use APKTool. I have not tried it. But in the future don't delete the source code if you plan to edit it later on. And remember to save the keys you use to sign the APK. You will have to sign it with the same keys to update the APK to a new version. – doorstuck Jan 10 '14 at 08:58
  • i have the keys and source codes copied in text file,so will this help me to create a new android application with the same codes? I had published the app in google play and i want to update that,will this same codes and key help to update the app? – Karthik Jan 10 '14 at 10:11
  • Yes. You need to export with the same keys to update the app on Google Play. – doorstuck Jan 10 '14 at 10:27
