Android Apps: How can I view an apps code/files?
I love taking apart applications, software, and websites to see how developers were able to create a feature or how a game handles AI. Something I'd like to be able to do is view an app's files (code specifically) but I haven't been able to find a solution on Google. I've seen YouTube videos before mention things about looking through an apps files but was unable to find those videos again to contact the creator. What I've tried is: apps>> My Files >> Device Storage >> Android >> Data >> com.Company.AppName From here I've only seen a "cache" folder which I don't think is what I'm looking for and is empty anyway. I've also tried looking at settings >> applications >> Applications manager >> [tap on app name] From here I have the option of adding the add to my SD card. I also have an iPad in case it's easier (which I highly doubt) to do this on an Apple device.
