Where do I find Androidmanifest.xml on my device?

Question

I'm trying to modify the Androidmanifest.xml for the browser on my device so that I can execute an app by loading a URI in the browser.

I've been running around the file system in ADB SHELL all day, but can't seem to find it. Plus there is no FIND , nor LOCATE command on the system.

Answer 1

You can theoretically find the Androidmanifest.xml file in the APK.

Every APK contains the compiled source code of the application. There is no useable decompiler for APKs at the moment so it is not possible to change the content of one.

In addition to the compiled code and the other resources of the application, an APK also contains a signature from the developer, which will become invalid when the content is changed to verify the source of an APK. An Android system won't install an APK with an invalid signature, so even if you could change the content of the APK, you still couldn't use it.

The conclusion: You cannot do what you are trying to do.
