I found out why this error occurred while unzipping assets/dialog.zip in APK Manager. The dialog.zip file is password-protected, and the password is 1. When JADX tried to unzip that file, this error occurred.

jpstotz · 2025-02-24T14:15:14Z

JADX cannot recognize that they are PNG files and, accordingly, cannot name these files with the .png extension.

Can you please provide the path of the png files within your original APK file that can not be displayed correctly?

Beast833 · 2025-02-24T14:23:02Z

JADX cannot recognize that they are PNG files and, accordingly, cannot name these files with the .png extension.

Can you please provide the path of the png files within your original APK file that can not be displayed correctly?

res/drawable/*.png

res/drawable-*/*.png

jpstotz · 2025-02-25T09:14:28Z

Sorry I am not able to reproduce your problem. All png files I have looked at were shown as expected. Please provide a screenshot of Jadx with the problem.

Beast833 · 2025-02-25T10:35:40Z

Use command line interface to reproduce this issue

Beast833 · 2025-03-03T16:19:15Z

@jpstotz Any update???

jpstotz · 2025-03-03T16:39:39Z

Can you please post the command-line you use for decompiling? I don't use the non-UI version very often.

Beast833 · 2025-03-03T16:41:28Z

I used windows cli

jpstotz · 2025-03-03T18:26:21Z

I wasn't asking for the used terminal, but for the full Jadx command-line including all arguments you have executed, so I can execute the same detect what is going wrong.

Beast833 · 2025-03-04T03:57:49Z

bin/jadx APK_Manager.apk

jpstotz · 2025-03-04T10:04:53Z

I can not reproduce your problem using latest version from GIT, the posted APK decompiles fine. I don't see any problem regarding layout and png files.

Please try again using Jadx unstable version..

If you still encounter problems please post the full path of single APK entries and the content you get of this files after decompiling.

Beast833 · 2025-03-04T10:15:37Z

bin/jadx APK_Manager.apk

@jpstotz am using latest unstable version where I first discovered this issue

Here is the decompiled code: APK_Manager.zip

jpstotz · 2025-03-08T15:07:10Z

@Beast833 Your uploaded file link is broken.

Please also mention the file names of the files inside the ZIP which are not as they should be.

Beast833 · 2025-03-08T15:27:19Z

@Beast833 Your uploaded file link is broken.

No, the link is not broken it works fine for me

JADX does not decompile the layout and menu files, and it does not recognize their file extensions. In other resource files where PNG files are used, JADX cannot recognize that they are PNG files and, accordingly, cannot name these files with the .png extension.

jpstotz · 2025-03-08T20:48:08Z

Tried it on different systems with multiple web browsers. Only a page "Not found" comes. That file is most likely only accessible for your GitHub account

Beast833 · 2025-03-08T23:32:02Z

Okay, try this google drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hxHgwAnrdkjC2FpRpqpHRMhCHoXULNuD/view?usp=drivesdk

Or GitHub link: APK_Manager.zip

jpstotz · 2025-03-09T12:04:17Z

Now I understand your problem. If you would have included a screenshot of the decompiled files in your initial post this would have saved us a lot of time. because the problem is simply that the PNG files are not saved with the .png file extension:

The reason seems to be that the command-line Jadx version does not apply deobfuscation by default. Thus if you want Jadx to recover the file names you have to execute bin/jadx --deobf APK_Manager.apk.

Beast833 · 2025-03-09T23:50:18Z

@jpstotz please take a look at its layout files where you will see the layout files are not decompiled and not having any .XML extension
