ANDROCG(1)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, meet androcg 💅 It's all about reverse engineering and pentesting for Android applications 📱 Literally iconic.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

androcg [OPTIONS] APK

So you hand it an APK, toss in whatever options you want, and it does its thing 🧚

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Heads up, bestie, this little warning is baked right into the page, so don't panic if you see it 💀

/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/androguard/core/bytecodes/apk.py:1039:
SyntaxWarning: "\>" is an invalid escape sequence. Such sequences will
not work in the future. Did you mean "\\>"? A raw string is also an
option.

Thus specifiying {"name": "foobar"} will match on <bla name="foobar" \> 🙈

Create a call graph and export it into a graph format 🕸️ It's giving organized chaos.

The default is to create a file called callgraph.gml in the current directory! No cap, that's where it lands 📂

Classnames are found in the type "Lfoo/bar/bla;" ✨

Example:

$ androguard cg examples/tests/hello-world.apk

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -o, --output TEXT — Pick the filename for your output file. The extension decides which format gets used 📁 [default: callgraph.gml]
• -s, --show — Instead of saving the graph, print it with mathplotlib 🖼️ (you might not see anything, so don't stress!)
• -v, --verbose — Print more output, for when you want all the tea 🍵
• --classname TEXT — Regex to filter by classname 🔍 [default: .*]
• --methodname TEXT — Regex to filter by methodname 🔎 [default: .*]
• --descriptor TEXT — Regex to filter by descriptor 🧩 [default: .*]
• --accessflag TEXT — Regex to filter by accessflags 🚪 [default: .*]
• --no-isolated / --isolated — Don't store methods that have no xrefs 🙅‍♀️
• --help — Show the help message and exit 👑
