How to programmatically read the contents of an apk file?

First of all, get the apk file from its path using this code

final PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
                PackageInfo packageInfo = null;
                try {
                    packageInfo = pm.getPackageInfo("PACKAGE NAME HERE", PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
                } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

                File file = new File(packageInfo.applicationInfo.sourceDir);
                Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);

See the answer to another question: fooobar.com/questions/301119 / ...

You can mainly use this:

PackageInfo packageInfo = context.getPackageManager().getPackageArchiveInfo(file.getAbsolutePath(), 0);

, ... ZipInputStream .., .
