Toy Example App that downloads Google Play APKs using Java and APKLeecher service
In the toy example below everything is done with string manipulation to extract the actual APK URL and proceed with the download.
The following can be improved by using a DOM parser and searching for the specific elements of interest.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import java.nio.channels.Channels;
import java.nio.channels.ReadableByteChannel;
public class APKLeech {
public static void main (String args[])
{
String url = "http://apkleecher.com/download/?dl=com.aleksirantonen.clayhuntfree";
try {
leech(url);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void leech(String pageURL) throws IOException
{
URL url = new URL(pageURL);
URLConnection yc = url.openConnection();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader( yc.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
if(inputLine.indexOf("setTimeout('location.href=\"../apps")!=-1)
{
String apkURL = getAPKlocation(inputLine,pageURL);
if(apkURL==null) break;
System.out.println("Downloading from:" + apkURL);
DownloadAPK(apkURL);
break;
}
in.close();
}
public static String getAPKlocation(String timeOutLine, String originalPageURL)
{
int trimLoc = timeOutLine.indexOf("../apps");
if(trimLoc == -1) return null;
String result = timeOutLine.substring(trimLoc);
trimLoc = result.indexOf(".apk\"");
result = result.substring(0,trimLoc+4);
String htmlPageUrlDir = originalPageURL.substring(0, originalPageURL.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
return htmlPageUrlDir+result;
}
