Dex

Dex is a parser for Android's Dex format written completely in Rust.

Most of the functionality to access the data structures in the file is implemented but has not been thoroughly tested yet. I plan to write more unit tests, integration tests soon.

Usage

Add to your Cargo.toml: dex = "0.2.4"

Documentation

The primary source of documentation for dex format is Android website. Most of the public structs, and methods in this crate have the same names. There are a few examples here to get you started.

Development Notes

• The library makes use of mmap to access the file contents.
• scroll is used to parse binary data.
• The included classes.dex in the resources folder is from the open-source application ADW launcher. You can find the source code here
