Since morning my code changes are not being reflected in .apk. I did not updated anything. I saw some post here pointing out to sdk-tools. But I haven't touched sdk-tools. What can be the possible reason?
Android Studio has a code history feature which allows you to see previous versions of a corresponding file. Just right click on a file in the IDE's file explorer and you will see this option.
To start debugging an APK, click Profile or debug APK from the Android Studio Welcome screen. Or, if you already have a project open, click File > Profile or Debug APK from the menu bar. In the next dialog window, select the APK you want to import into Android Studio and click OK.
You can start a debugging session as follows: Set some breakpoints in the app code. In the toolbar, select a device to debug your app on from the target device drop-down menu. If you don't have any devices configured, then you need to either connect a device via USB or create an AVD to use the Android Emulator.
Use jadx. Jadx decompiles the code in a given APK to java source files. Use apktool. Apktool is a command line tool which extracts resources and decompiles code into smali for a given apk.
Try clean (Build->Clean Project) and rebuild (Build->Rebuild Project) your solution.
Gradle tends to cache some parts of the .apk to speed-up the building process. In most cases, doing a clean (Build -> Clean Project) will solve such issues :-)
You can also clean all the already-created elements by deleting the /build subdirectory of your project and rebuilding.
