So, I'm trying to download the latest release from GitHub using a Windows batch script. I can get a long list of URLs by running curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/ActualMandM/cemu_graphic_packs/releases/latest, but I can't figure out how to pass the "browser_download_url": "https://github.com/ActualMandM/cemu_graphic_packs/releases/download/Github828/graphicPacks828.zip" it outputs to curl. I've looked online, but everything I found was for PowerShell and most of them used wget.
If you really want to use batch for this, you'll have to search the output JSON for the value you're looking for and then process that string. If the JSON had appeared all on one line, you'd need to take a different approach, but you got lucky.
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%A in ('curl -ks https://api.github.com/repos/ActualMandM/cemu_graphic_packs/releases/latest ^| find "browser_download_url"') do (
curl -kOL %%B
)
I've added the -k flag because my computer requires it for some reason (so other peoples' might as well).
-O will set the name of the output file to the remote output file name
-L follows a redirect, which is required for downloading from Github.
The Github API url you're accessing returns JSON, so you're going to need a JSON parser.
I can highly recommend xidel. xidel can open and download urls, so you won't need curl or a batch-script.
To query the "browser_download_url"-attribute:
xidel.exe -s "https://api.github.com/repos/ActualMandM/cemu_graphic_packs/releases/latest" -e "$json//browser_download_url"
https://github.com/ActualMandM/cemu_graphic_packs/releases/download/Github874/graphicPacks874.zip
(or -e "$json/(assets)()/browser_download_url" in full)
To download 'graphicPacks874.zip' in the current dir:
xidel.exe ^
-s "https://api.github.com/repos/ActualMandM/cemu_graphic_packs/releases/latest" ^
-f "$json//browser_download_url" ^
--download "{substring-after($headers[starts-with(.,'Content-Disposition')],'filename=')}"
With r8389 or newer (because of this commit) you can just use --download ..
I need to get the package name of an Android APK. I have tried to unzip the APK and read the contents of the AndroidManifest.xml file but it seems that it's not a text file.
How can I extract the APK's package name?
aapt dump badging <path-to-apk> | grep package:\ name
Install the apk on your Android device. Then
you can launch adb shell and execute pm list packages -f, which shows the package name for each installed apk.
This is taken from
Find package name for Android apps to use Intent to launch Market app from web.
Based on #hackbod answer ... but related to windows.
aapt command is located on Android\SDK\build-tools\version.
If you need more info about what is appt command (Android Asset Packaging Tool) read this https://stackoverflow.com/a/28234956/812915
The dump sub-command of aapt is used to display the values of individual elements or parts of a package:
aapt dump badging <path-to-apk>
If you want see only the line with package: name info, use findstr
aapt dump badging <path-to-apk> | findstr -n "package: name" | findstr "1:"
Hope it help other windows user!
If you are looking at google play and want to know its package name then you can look at url or address bar. You will get package name. Here com.landshark.yaum is the package name
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.landshark.yaum&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5sYW5kc2hhcmsueWF1bSJd
The following bash script will display the package name and the main activity name:
apk_package.sh
package=$(aapt dump badging "$*" | awk '/package/{gsub("name=|'"'"'",""); print $2}')
activity=$(aapt dump badging "$*" | awk '/activity/{gsub("name=|'"'"'",""); print $2}')
echo
echo " file : $1"
echo "package : $package"
echo "activity: $activity"
run it like so:
apk_package.sh /path/to/my.apk
If you open the AndroidManifest.xml using MS Notepad, search for phrase package and you'll find following:
package manifest $xxx.xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx |
where xxx.xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx is your package name, just written with a space after each character.
It's useful way when you don't have any specific tools installed.
Since its mentioned in Android documentation that AAPT has been deprecated, getting the package name using AAPT2 command in Linux is as follows:
./aapt2 dump packagename <path_to_apk>
Since I am using an older version of Gradle build, I had to download a newer version of AAPT2 as mentioned here :
Download AAPT2 from Google Maven
Using the build-tools in my sdk - 25.0.3, 26.0.1 and 27.0.3, executing the aapt2 command shows an error: Unable to open 'packagename': No such file or directory. That's why I went for the newer versions of AAPT2.
I used 3.3.0-5013011 for linux.
A Programmatic Answer
If you need to do this programmatically, it's a little more involved than just getting the answer into your brain. I have a script that I use to sign all of our apps, but each use a different key. Here are 2 ways to get just the Package Name as output so you can put it in a variable or do whatever you need with it.
Example output: com.example.appname (and nothing more)
Requirements
aapt - Android Asset Packaging Tool, part of the SDK Tools download
Solution 1
Using awk specify ' as the Field Separator, search for a line with package: name=, and print only the 2nd "field" in the line:
aapt dump badging /path/to/file.apk | awk -v FS="'" '/package: name=/{print $2}'
A weakness of this method is that it relies on aapt to output the package information fields in the same order:
package: name='com.example.appname' versionCode='3461' versionName='2.2.4' platformBuildVersionName='4.2.2-1425461'
We have no commitments from the developers to maintain this format.
Solution 2
Using awk specify " as the Field Separator, search for a line with package=, and print only the 2nd "field" in the line:
aapt list -a /path/to/file.apk | awk -v FS='"' '/package=/{print $2}'
A weakness of this method is that it relies on aapt to output package= only in the Android Manifest: section of the output. We have no commitments from the developers to maintain this format.
Solution 3
Expand the apk file with apktool d and read the AndroidManifest.xml.
This would be the best method, but the AndroidManifest.xml is a binary file and all the SO answers I see for converting it to text do not work. (Using apktool d instead of a simple unzip is supposed to do this for you, but it does not.) Please comment if you have an solution to this issue
A simple solution would be Open Android Studio -> Build -> Analyze Apk... browse and select the APK now you can find the package name and pretty much you can read.
You can use Analyze APK... from the Build menu in Android Studio, it will display the package name at the top of new window.
If you don't have the Android SDK installed, like in some test scenarios, you can get the package name using the following bash method:
getAppIdFromApk() {
local apk_path="$1"
# regular expression (required)
local re="^\"L.*/MainActivity;"
# sed substitute expression
local se="s:^\"L\(.*\)/MainActivity;:\1:p"
# tr expression
local te=' / .';
local app_id="$(unzip -p $apk_path classes.dex | strings | grep -Eo $re | sed -n -e $se | tr $te)"
echo "$app_id"
}
Tested on a mac. 'strings' and 'unzip' are standard on most linux's, so should work on linux too.
A very simple method is to use apkanalyzer.
apkanalyzer manifest application-id "${_path_to_apk}"
On Mac:
Way 1:
zgong$ /Users/zgong/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/29.0.3/aapt dump badging ~/Downloads/NonSIMCC-151-app-release-signed.apk
package: name='com.A.B' versionCode='2020111801' versionName='1.0.40' compileSdkVersion='29' compileSdkVersionCodename='10'
sdkVersion:'24'
targetSdkVersion:'29'
......
Way 2:
/Users/zgong/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/29.0.3/aapt2 dump packagename ~/Downloads/NonSIMCC-151-app-release-signed.apk
com.A.B
If you just want to know package name, run adb logcat, launch the activity you want , you will get a hint on the package name.
Another solution is to use aapt list and use sed to parse through that:
aapt list -a $PATH_TO_YOUR_APK | sed -n "/^Package Group[^s]/s/.*name=//p"
I think the best and simplest way to extract only the package name in Linux is
aapt dump badging <APK_path> | grep package | sed -r "s/package: name='([a-z0-9.]*)'.*/\1/"
Explanation:
AAPT extracts the APK information
Grep "package" to keep only the line about the package information
Make sed replace the whole line with the package name only using the following regex: package: name='([a-z0-9.]*)'.* and replacing with the first (and only) matching group.
There's a very simple way if you got your APK allready on your Smartphone. Just use one of these APPs:
Package Name Viewer Apps
To use this in batch scripting it's handy to have the script return just the package name (e.g. for uninstalling an app when you have the APK).
Here's the script I use:
# extract the android package id from a built apk file
# usage ./getPackageName.sh <path-to-apk>
line=`aapt dump badging "$1" | grep package:\ name`
# above returns:
# package: name='com.calvium.myapp' versionCode='1' versionName='1.0'
if [[ $line =~ name=\'(.+)\'\ versionCode ]]; then
echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
else
echo "Failed to find package name"
exit 1
fi
available on gist
So you could write:
adb uninstall `./getPackageName.sh file.apk`
You can extract AndroidManifest.xml from the APK, remove all NULL bytes, skip everything until after the string 'manifest', and then you are at a length byte followed by the package name (and what comes after it). For the difficult task I use the great GEMA tool, so the command looks like this:
7z e -so MyApp.apk AndroidManifest.xml | gema '\x00=' | gema -match 'manifest<U1><U>=#substring{0;#char-int{$1};$2}'
Of course, you can use any other tool to do the filtering.
For Windows following worked for me:
:: // Initializing variables
SET adb="C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb"
SET aapt="C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools\22.0.0\aapt"
SET APKPath=C:\Users\<User name>\Desktop\APK\Instant_Instal\
CD %APKPath%
:: // Searching for apk file and storing it
FOR /F "delims=" %%f IN ('dir /S /B *.apk') DO SET "APKFullPath=%%f"
SET apk=%APKFullPath%
:: // Command adb install apk, run apk
%adb% install %apk%
:: // Fetching package name from apk
%aapt% dump badging %APKFullPath% | FIND "package: name=" > temp.txt
FOR /F "tokens=2 delims='" %%s IN (temp.txt) DO SET pkgName=%%s
del temp.txt
:: // Launching apk
%adb% shell monkey -p %pkgName% -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
pause
Note
Please edit the paths of adb, aapt, APKPath according to the paths of adb, aapt, and the apk location in your system.
Working:
Here I have added the apk in a folder on Desktop "\Desktop\APK\Instant_Instal\".
The command %adb% install %apk% installs the application if the device is connected.
This %aapt% dump badging %APKFullPath% | FIND "package: name=" > temp.txt fetches package name and a few other details like version etc. of the apk and stores in a temp.txt file in same location as that of the apk.
FOR /F "tokens=2 delims='" %%s IN (temp.txt) DO SET pkgName=%%sextracts the package name and assigns topkgName` variable
Finally %adb% shell monkey -p %pkgName% -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1 launches the app.
In essence the above code installs the apk from given location in desktop "Desktop\APK\Instant_Instal\" to the device and launches the application.
You can get the package name programmatically by :
packageManager.getPackageArchiveInfo(apkFilePath, 0)?.packageName
you can instal Package_Name_Viewer.apk on your emulator and next you can see package name of all instaled app on your emulator.
I also tried the de-compilation thing, it works but recently I found the easiest way:
Download and install Appium from Appium website
Open Appium->Android setting, choose the target apk file. And then you get everything you want, the package info, activity info.
As I don't was able to find the package name in the .apk file with editor (like suggested above), I have checked the functions in the App "ES Datei Explorer" / "ES File Explorer" (free version) that I had installed already.
In this tool, the package name is showed properly.
As I think a good file explorer should not be missing on a phone, I suggest to use this tool (if you already have installed the apk on an mobile and have to know the package name).
If you want to read the package name of a typical APK file in your app, there's an easy way to analyze the PackageInfo:
fun getAPKPackageName(apkFile: File?): String? {
if (apkFile == null || !apkFile.isFile || !apkFile.exists()) return null
val apkFilePath = apkFile.absolutePath
if (apkFilePath.isNullOrEmpty()) return null
val packageManager = App.context.packageManager ?: return null
val packageInfo = packageManager.getPackageArchiveInfo(apkFilePath, 0) ?: return null
return packageInfo.packageName
}
I am using a batch file to make installing chef on servers a little bit less work. The last line of my code where I add the recipe seems to be completely ignored. Probably something stupid but what am I missing?
#ECHO OFF
set /p ip="Enter IP Address:"
set /p nodename="Enter Node Name:"
ECHO OK, installing Chef node %nodename% on %ip%
knife bootstrap %ip% -x ************ -P ************* --sudo -N %nodename%
node-ssl-verify-mode none --no-host-key-verify
knife node run_list add %nodename% "recipe[*********]"
As mentioned above, we use .bat wrappers for our executable Ruby scripts on Windows so to run them from another batch script you need call knife .... Also you don't need the run list add most likely, unless your recipes are very broken you can set the run list during the bootstrap.
I'm trying to write a .bat script as the pre-commit hooks in svn. However when I was trying to use the svnlook cat command with the -t option, it's not working. It kept telling me syntax errors. I tried everything including adding quotes, changing the -t option etc. However, if I remove the -t option, it doesn't report syntax errors.
So this is the error scripts:
SET REPOS=%~1 (I want to remove the quotes of the path)
SET TXN=%2
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnlook.exe" cat -t %TXN% %REPOS% myworkingdir/txtIwanttoread
If I do the following, they are all fine:
SET REPOS=%~1 (I want to remove the quotes of the path)
SET TXN=%2
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnlook.exe" cat %REPOS% myworkingdir/txtIwanttoread
OR
SET REPOS=%~1 (I want to remove the quotes of the path)
SET TXN=%2
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnlook.exe" cat -r 28 %REPOS% myworkingdir/txtIwanttoread
Somebody please help me!! Thanks!
Never mind everybody, I think I just figured it out myself. We should use SET TXN=%~2 to eliminate the quotes. Also even if I did that, the stupid batch puts a space at the end of the variable TXN. This is what causes the problem. So the script should look like:
SET REPOS=%~1 (I want to remove the quotes of the path)
SET TXN=%~2
SET TXN=%TXN: =% (deblank)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnlook.exe" cat -t %TXN% %REPOS% myworkingdir/txtIwanttoread
I rendered 140000 frames to create a movie of them.
However, it starts at 1.png where it would be better if it had started at 000001.png in order to keep the order good when importing it in final cut express.
I used to have a program r-name but that was based on power-pc so it doesn't work anymore.
Also the program was quite shit with even a batch of 300 files for example so i guess it would be better to use the terminal for that.
I have seen examples for renaming but most where for changing the extention for example or change a prefix.
Could someone help me with the right terminal script? I need to finish this project asap, else i would have re-rendered it but it takes 15 hours to do.
Not very efficient, but since you need to run it only once:
for i in `seq 1 140000`; do
mv $i.png `printf %06d $i`.png
done
EDIT: I assumed (maybe wrongly) that you were using Linux. This won't work on Windows.
EDIT: Yes, this should work in Mac OS X. Instead of typing these lines into the prompt, you can save it to a file. Usually, you would save such a file with a name like rename.sh. Then You can run it on the terminal like this:
sh rename.sh
If you are unsure, you can change the mv line into:
echo mv $i.png `printf %06d $i`.png
This will print out on the screen the commands that would be executed. Then if everything looks ok, you change it back to the original and run it again.
If the number of files is different, just replace 140000 with the number of the last file.
for i in *.png
do
name=${i%.png}
[[ $name =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]] && mv $i "$(printf '%06d' $name).png"
done
If you are using Windows
#echo off
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
for %%F in (*.png) do (
set "name=00000%%~nF"
ren "%%F" "!name:~-6!.png"
)
