Update The link I provided before is dead now. I am providing a new link where you can decompile source code online. You just need to upload the apk.

1) You should use two method for getting source code from .apk files? And, download apktool and jdgui application to do below steps : 

 * `apktool d filename.apk` it'll get the res and manifest file.

 * `dex2jar filename.apk` it'll get the source code of that apk file. 

 * Then, you should use jdgui for saving the source code.

Please follow these steps to get the source code. Hope this will helpful.

The most you'll be able to get are image resource files and xml files, using java vm decompilation you'll be able to get byte code which you can read and tinker with a little bit, it is tough to get the actual source code for the apk unless you're the developer. To get byte code simply use smali/baksmali to assemble and disassemble bytecode. See link below:
