How to decompile apk from Play Store

-
This is how you can decompile an application you have installed on your phone. My phone is rooted, uses RootBox 3.5 and has BusyBox installed. You may need to have that too if you want to follow my steps completly. Let's start: 1. Install application from market 2. Download apk to computer First you need to locate the apk on the phone. Connect to the phone: adb shell Find the apk in the folder the apk are downloaded to. It is ussualy in '/data/app/' or '/system/app/'. The apk is called as the id from the Play Store, for example 'com.something.someapp.apk'. You can see this in the url from Play. Next you need to pull it to the computer. Once you have located the apk and know it's name exit adb. On your PC execute: adb pull /data/app/com.something.someapp.apk 3. Transform apk to jar I use dex2jar dex2jar-0.0.9.11/d2j-dex2jar.sh com.something.someapp.apk 4. See the code inside the jar I use Java Decompiler Just open the

Religions with a sense of humor

-
I just love it when a religion has a sense of humor.
Discordianists are my favorite.
Today I came across The TriPrimality from subgenius:

The TriPrimality:
"Bob" is.
"Bob" becomes.
"Bob" is not.
Nothing is; Nothing becomes; Nothing is not. Thus: Nothing Is Everything.
  Therefore: Everything is "Bob."
Abracadabra.

"I don't practice what I preach, because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."--Bob
You have to admit that is funny.
And I can't close without mentioning my favorite religious person, Robert Anton Wilson.

"Spectacles, testicles, brandy, cigars -- you're all popes! You're all absolutely infallible. I have the authority to appoint anyone a Discordian Pope, because I'm a Discordian Pope. The first rule after you become a Discordian Pope is to excommunicate every Discordian Pope you meet. This is based on the basic Discordian principle that we Discordians must stick apart."  - RAW

so, what can I say ?

"Spectacles, testicles, brandy, cigars -- you're all popes! "

Ways to map and query many-to-many in GORM

-
I played with many-to-many relations in grails and found some interesting ways to work with them. First the domain definitions. For the purpose of this demo I chose the classic example with books and authors. A book may have many authors and an author may have many books. class Author { String name } class Book { String name } What I consider the silliest way to define your domains I found here http://www.grails.org/Many-to-Many+Mapping+without+Hibernate+XML They suggest mapping the join table using a domain object and creating the links by hand. On 'books and authors' it would look like class Book { String name static hasMany = [ memberships: Membership] List authors() { return memberships.collect {it.author} } List addToAuthors(Author author) { Membership.link(this, author) return authors() } List removeFromAuthors(Author author) { Membership.unlink(this, author) return authors() } } class Author { String name static hasMany = [memb
