Is there a way to recover java files from a android phone app?

I made an app in android studio that is now sitting in a compiled version on a few emulators and on my phone. Unfortunately my computer crashed and some progress got lost, however the most recent version is on my phone. Is there a straightforward way to extract the java source code again?

Since you have the debug app already installed in your device, you can recover the source code:

1.) Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.snowcorp.apps.apkshare&hl=en_US in your device

2.) Choose your app, click on share, then save the APK file.

3.) Finally, go to http://www.javadecompilers.com/apk and upload the APK and click Upload & Decompile button.

You'll get a zip file of decompiled source code. ;)

This one working for me.

Go to Android studio 2.3, Build -> Analyze APK -> Select the apk that you want to decompile. You will see it's source code.
