dex2jar.jar file generated contains only appinfo class

Question

I lost my android source code and i am trying to get it back somehow. I have an apk installed in my phone which is the only backup i have. I tried using dex2jar and was able to generate a classes_dex2jar.jar file but when i open it with java decompiler GUI it is only showing one class which is the appInfo class.

After the android studio update feature Instant Run the application source files were saved in slices and to get all the files i had to create jar files of the pieces of dex files in the instant run folder.(instant_run.zip file )

You have to extract a zip version of the apk, through which u will get drawables classes.dex and an instant_run.zip – Yasir Abbas Jul 02 '16 at 19:15
