TUTORIAL Android Studio *Basic* Walk-through

[jbetbetbet]

Here's a Basic Walk through of how to use android studio as a live editor.
This is not a detailed how to on Android Studio..... use google for that.
But in the video i do show
how I change the Ad layout size in Smarters 3.0.9.1.
I also tried to show the most common things edited, text size/color, icon color, app name.

Decomplie with APK EasyTool
Open decompiled folder with Android studio.
Resource Manager will almost guaranteed not open, just open a different project(decompiled folder) in the SAME WINDOW, then switch back to the first project,in the SAME WINDOW,
It should index correctly and you should see Resource Manager on the left side.
When you finished editing, just close Studio and Recompile with APK EasyTooL

I suggest grabbing a drink/smoke/coffee/tea before attempting…..this program can be infuriating. Good luck


THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR Smarters 3.1.5

Great video bro.. I've been playing about with Android Studio for a while now. Its handy to preview the app layout (smarters ads especially). Once changes are made, how to you build it back into an apk file tho? This bit I cannot figure out.. Prob a dumb question..

So all the changes you make are Live, it writes and saves to files as you edit, no need to save anything. Once you get it how you want it, open Apk Easytool, select decompiled folder then Compile.

Probably easiest to help if you take a screen shot of what you have selected. Tint is an option that doesn’t show up for every layout

Windows 11 64bit latest version just. From Google.

I had android studio installed from 8 odd months ago.

I deleted it the other day and installed the latest version & the latest plugins to.

Open it up, select account icon and screen shot it though. I might be able to tell, I’ll upgrade later today and see the differences

I'm getting a error about gradle on mine I'm on win 11 with the latest android studio

Ignore all the errors about gradle. We aren’t using studio the way it’s designed to be used. The short of it is we don’t have a gradle build, but we are only after Resource Manager. Most of time swapping projects will accomplish this.
