Re: binary AndroidManifest.xml, resource ID to string. How to ?

Newyana,

  Just a wild guess, but in PE files there's generally
a resource table to store icons. The table is located
through a system of numeric pointers. You read the
file header, locate the resource table pointer, go to
that offset, walk the table pointers, etc. It's all about
pointers to offsets.

The sought-for strings are not present in the binary AndroidManifest.xml
file.

  This kind of thing can be monstrously difficult because
most people have no reason to care about such things.

I cannot other than agree with you, as I've not been able to find even a
/hint/ to how that it works.

So you have to track down some kind of industry spec doc.

:-) I already spend a few hours googeling.  I have not found anything. :-(

... Which is why I posted here.
