Is it legal to decompile an APK and use part of its code in your app

Is it legal to decompile an apk and use part of it's code? (more specifically: a URL connector (I haven't learned that yet)).

The rest of the app (layouts and such) is made by me. Can I publish this app without being concerned on the legal front?


Decompiling is absolutely LEGAL, regardless of what the shills say. At most, you can be sued for unauthorized activity relating to software unless you're redistributing it. Courts in the US have always upheld the right of users to know exactly what code is being installed on their systems by programs they have legitimately obtained.

People REALLY need to quit saying "ILLEGAL" unless they know what they're talking about. There is absolutely NO law in the US that states you cannot copy for private purposes or decompile software. Companies have tried to sue to stop it, but; a) that's only civil, not criminal, and therefore not ILLEGAL; and b) they've only won when the content was given to an outside party from whom the companies did not receive payment. IE the person has been shown to break the law.


它取决于应用程序许可证,但通常情况下,如果反编译是必要的,这意味着作者不允许使用其代码。


If you want to know in simple words"It absolutely LEGAL decompiling apks,but it is ILLEGAL to use that code in making something identical to the original one".

You can learn from the code but who can't copy there work..(It sometimes depends on publishers Copyrights).
