axmleditor: editor for binary AndroidManifest.xml in APK.

Can be used to change the value of android:value field for specific android:name.
This is very useful to package multiple APKs so that every APK has it's own channel name.

Usage:

• Given one prebuilt apk (prebuilt.apk), run below commands:

java -jar axmleditor.jar prebuilt.apk UMENG_CHANNEL=baidu BD_APP_CHANNEL=baidu CHANNEL=baidu

It will parse the AndroidManifest.xml in prebuilt.apk, change the value of android:value to 'baidu', re-compile the xml, and put the compiled xml along with prebuilt.apk.

• Then user can use zip to add the compiled AndroidManifest.xml into apk. such as:

zip -d prebuilt.apk AndroidManifest.xml

zip prebuilt.apk AndroidManifest.xml

Example

before change:

<meta-data
	android:value="GooglePlay"
   	android:name="UMENG_CHANNEL"/>

<meta-data
    android:value="GooglePlay"
    android:name="BD_APP_CHANNEL"/>

<meta-data
    android:value="GooglePlay"
    android:name="CHANNEL"/>

after change:

<meta-data
	android:value="Baidu"
   	android:name="UMENG_CHANNEL"/>

<meta-data
    android:value="Baidu"
    android:name="BD_APP_CHANNEL"/>

<meta-data
    android:value="Baidu"
    android:name="CHANNEL"/>

Reference:

This project uses the xml parser of Google's ClassyShark project.

中文说明

用于更改APK中AndroidManifest.xml中的属性值。非常适用于多渠道的打包，支持中文渠道名。

用法:

1.首先打一个包：prebuilt.apk, 运行命令:

java -jar axmleditor.jar prebuilt.apk UMENG_CHANNEL=baidu BD_APP_CHANNEL=baidu CHANNEL=baidu

它会

• 解析prebuilt.apk中的AndroidManifest.xml

• 对android:name为UMENG_CHANNEL，BD_APP_CHANNEL，CHANNEL的属性，更改android:value的值为baidu

• 重新编译AndroidManifest.xml, 把编译后的AndroidManifest.xml放到prebuilt.apk同一目录下

2.然后用zip把AndroidManifest.xml放回到apk中:

aapt -d prebuilt.apk AndroidManifest.xml

aapt prebuilt.apk AndroidManifest.xml

3.多渠道打包时，对每个渠道名，重复第2步，即可快速生成多个渠道包

示例：

改变前的xml部分字段:

<meta-data
	android:value="GooglePlay"
   	android:name="UMENG_CHANNEL"/>

<meta-data
    android:value="GooglePlay"
    android:name="BD_APP_CHANNEL"/>

<meta-data
    android:value="GooglePlay"
    android:name="CHANNEL"/>

改变后的xml部分字段:

<meta-data
	android:value="Baidu"
   	android:name="UMENG_CHANNEL"/>

<meta-data
    android:value="Baidu"
    android:name="BD_APP_CHANNEL"/>

<meta-data
    android:value="Baidu"
    android:name="CHANNEL"/>
