NAME

       dexdeps - DEX external dependency dump

SYNOPSIS

       dexdeps options <file.{dex,apk,jar}> ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  dexdeps tool dumps a list of fields and methods that a DEX file uses but does not define.  When com‐
       bined with a list of public APIs, it can be used to determine whether an  APK  is  accessing  fields  and
       calling  methods  that  it shouldn't be.  It may also be useful in determining whether an application re‐
       quires a certain minimum API level to execute.

       For zip archives (including .jar and .apk), dexdeps will look for a "classes.dex" entry.

OPTIONS

       --format={brief,xml}
              Specifies the output format.

       • "brief" produces one line of output for each field and method.  Field and argument types are  shown  as
         descriptor strings.

       • "xml"  produces  a  larger output file, readable with an XML browser.  Types are shown in a more human-
         readable form (e.g.  "[I" becomes "int[]").

       --just-classes
         Indicates that output should only include a list of classes, as opposed  to  also  listing  fields  and
         methods.
