Editing text files within AEE?

plsfixbusyboxforlatestandroid opened this issue · comments

Seriously, Thanks for creating this App It works amazingly well and has saved me tons of time.

Would it be possible to edit text files within AEE? It's a bit clunky to export, edit externally and then replace.

(I'm Currently on v0.14 from F-Droid, If this has already been implemented please ignore this issue.)

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed response. Infact, you can already edit text files using AEE. However, that editing asset files are too buggy and most likely make the newly created app corrupted (hence, disabled by default in the settings menu).

I just want to change a false to a true in AndroidManifest.xml but I can't edit any files.

My keyboard is working fine since the search bar at the top lets me enter text.

Okay just found that editing has to be enabled in the settings but using it means I don't get the parsed version anymore. Seeing a bunch of question marks in a white square in some parts doesn't help me.

I also lose out on the ability to search through the apk which is the most important part to me. I kinda need to do them simultaneously.

@deoxal
Editing text files are now fixed as of v0.25. Of course. there might still be issues when dealing with big APK's. Anyway, closing this issue. But, feel free to reopen it if you think the issue still exist. Thanks
