Android apk decompilation from bat won't start

Question

I'm trying apk tool, following the instruction I have create a folder with

Where -myapp.apk is a sample app that I want to decompile

My bat Decompile.bat is

@echo off 
pushd "%~dp0"
apktool if myapp.apk
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool d myapp.apk
pause

When I start the bat the prompt autoclose after the first lines execution

@echo off 
apktool if myapp.apk
apktool if framework-res.apk

the execution of these line is correctly but jump the latet line for some reason

If I try to use apktool from prompt works, so the problem is my bat file but I don't know how to fix it

Answer 1

You need to see how apktool.bat is referencing java. I downloaded the source from github and this is what's listed:

@echo off
set PATH=%CD%;%PATH%;
java -jar "%~dp0\apktool.jar" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

If that's the case then it's assuming that java is in the PATH variable or in the current directory. Maybe add an echo for the path and see why it cannot find it. Alternatively, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable and put the full path to java inside of apktool.bat.
