Android validation (decompilation) tools

So Jenkins is building and archiving lovely APKs with timestamps in versionName!  People are testing directly out of DropBox.  Got a bug report but need to see which APK it came from!
Goal: Extract human-readable versionName from APK.
Two-liner answer after the break!

The answer is very simple...

1. Unzip the AndroidManifest.xml from the APK
   unzip MyAPK.apk AndroidManifest.xml
2. Convert the binary XML to human-readable
   (link to JAR in references, below)
   java -jar A2XMLPrinter2.jar AndroidManifest.xml > AndroidManifest.text.xml

Background
The Android XML files are converted from text to binary form for more efficient on-device use.  UNIX's "file" command (which informs of file type by checking its magic number) opines these binary XML files are "DBase 3 data file".

While investigating, I came across answers to how to check obfuscation-level (which I'd also wondered about).

1. De-dex your APK
   dex2jar.sh MyAPK.apk
   (or dex2jar.bat MyAPK.apk if you're stuck on Windoze)
2. Decompile the Java class files
   (in this case, view in one step.)
   jd-gui MyAPK_dex2jar.jar

I know I've used an Eclipse-based Java decompiler in the past.  If anyone's interested / I come across the need, I'll update this post with the Eclipse version.

HTH!

p.s. I'm preparing a post about setting-up Jenkins for good Android building (i.e. "real software engineering" vs. "hacking and guessing" ;-) ). It's kind'a long so it'll be retro-posted after/before this one.
