I operated according to the tutorial of the following websitethis is the tutorial, but found that the contents of the file were different from those in the tutorial. As a result, when I extracted the assets folder, there was no content I wanted to obtain
i had tried to use AssetStudio to extract game but seems it failed,there are no resources in the packet folder of this game, only these contents in the picture, how should I extract the resources inside?If I only want to extract images, do I need to unzip the obb package? Or unpack the APK package?
someone come to help me,please,thanks a lot.

this is my file directory/

I want to extract Clash of Clans game's images and animations from its android apk file. This is for a personal project and I want to add all characters and buildings in the projects.
I extracted the apk file and found the music but I didn't find any images/drawable assets which resemble any character/building.
There are some files with extension '.sc' and I doubt that they could be the files which I need. But I am not sure what are these and how to get the gif/png out of them? I found those file inside the game's apk at \assets\sc\ path.
Can anyone help me here, please?
Have you had any luck with this? I've also been looking for a way to decompress and came across this repo that decompresses some files, but I can't find a way to decompress the images/icons

I have code for creating an internal file, there is random algorithem that create the data stored in it and i want any app to have the same file with the same binary data in it.
so i need to make the file on my desktop and add it to internal files some how.
my question is what do you think is the best way to do it.
i thought to locate it in my project, read it, and write it to internal files.
the problem is, i dont know where to locate my file in android studio so that it will be included in the external files and then where to read it from.
thanks. =]
hope i made myself clear.
Put it in src/main/assets/.
You can then access your file with AssetManager and do whatever you want with it.
From the Android Developers website:
main/assets/
This is empty. You can use it to store raw asset files. Files that you
save here are compiled into an .apk file as-is, and the original
filename is preserved. You can navigate this directory in the same way
as a typical file system using URIs and read files as a stream of
bytes using the AssetManager. For example, this is a good location for
textures and game data.
You need to move that into the assets folder. From there you can refer to the file.
I am really new to android devices, we have got an app that needs to read a *.cfg file from the same place as the apk. So the question is:
1) When i attach my mobile-phone to the computer, can i put it from the explorer? If yes, how?
2) Is there a mechanism in Android, that looks for some kind of include directories
when opening a Program?
It would be great if you could give me a hint.
You'd want to drop the *.cfg files into the assets/ folder. Then the app will have access to those raw *.cfg files during runtime.

We are currently working on a Unity Android project that has to have localised mp4 streaming Videos. In order to achieve this I was hoping to put the video files in an expansion obb file, then we can have the same apk and submit it with different obb files according to language.
Unfortunately our application without the videos is still over 50Mb so we need to use the first "main.1.name.obb" for the application.
However we are allowed to also submit a second obb under the name "patch.1.name.obb". However I am having trouble making this and using it. Has anyone tried this with unity before?
The application builds and runs with the first obb file absolutely fine (i.e. the game works without videos) the problem is just in the patch obb creation.
I have tried to create the obb by using a linux zip command with 0% compression then renaming it to a .obb file with no luck. (e.g. patch.1.packname.zip to patch.1.packname.obb)
I have tried to create the obb using jobb tool, and it adds the videos fine but still in game they are not found/played.
The videos are definitely in an "assets" folder inside the obb files made (where I believe streaming assets have to be)
I have fudged the streaming Assets Path ( Application.streamingAssetsPath ) to replace "main" with "patch" and have seen through logcat that it is indeed trying to get the videos from the patch obb file.
(e.g. "jar:file:///[storagelocation]/Android/obb/packname/patch.1.packname.obb!/vid01.mp4 )
Our version code in the AndroidManifest.xml if definitely 1.
Can anyone suggest anything else to try or point out an clear errors I am making in trying to do this?
Let me know any more information you may need to help as well and thanks in advance.
I haven't worked with Unity before, but from my experience I can point out a few things I have found from working with '.obb' files:
Simply renaming the '.zip' file to a '.obb' file will not work. You will need to make a folder named '.obb'. Then add all the needed resource files to this folder and then zip this folder, using 0% compression of course. Make sure that the zipped file contains only the resource files in the root and not a sub folder (the folder you made previously). Now you have a zip file named '.obb.zip'. At this point you can rename the file to '.obb'. Of course, the files may be in a sub folder inside the obb file (the assets folder in your case), but I am not sure about the consequences of this.
In regards to the statement you made concerning the files that are not found after using the jobb tool, this is most likely due to a miss-spelling somewhere or in one of my cases, forgetting to rename the package after copying it from a previous app. I know this seems foolish and maybe insulting (in which case I deeply apologize), but it happens.
This answer is based on my personal experience and may be slightly off center, but here are some links I used:

I need 6 large images in my app. And I don't need the quality and alpha channel provided by PNG. Is there a way to embed JPEG files into the raw resource and unfold them into SD card at first launch of the program? It will save me 3-4 MB in my APK. Thanks!
It's very easy. Put your file in res/raw filder and use:
InputStream is = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.image);
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
You can simply open the stream and do whatever you want with the data.
I think I don't understand your question: It seems that you want to hive off image files at first run...
Anyway, I suggest to put the files in the assets folder and not in the resource. You can access the assets as a file system and copy them to any (permitted) location.
Have a look here:
Difference between /res and /assets directories
and here (look at assets):
http://developer.android.com/tools/projects/index.html
EDIT:
My answer suggests to use assets instead of the resources but, you can't modify your apk at runtime, look here:
how we can remove a file from the assets folder at runtime in android?
Nothing prevents you to put JPEG images in the resource folders, or in the assets folder if you don't need the R.drawable.MY_IMAGE thingy.
However, the images would still be included in your APK, and cannot be removed from your application package even after you copied them to the SD card.
The only way is to download the images separately from a web server on your application first launch.
The Google Play Store also provides some facility if your application needs big files, but that seems a bit of an overkill
