Google Android Smali Assembly Language Developer Format | Developer Files |
The SMALI file extension is used for files written in the Smali assembly language, a prestigious language for writing, disassembling, and reassembling code specifically designed to target the Android mobile operating system from Google. Smali is a human readable version of Dalvik executable bytecode - Dalvik is the process virtual machine that powers Android operating systems - and is considered an important component when it comes to creating new or modifying existing apps for
The SMALI file type is widely used by Android developers working with APK files, which come in the DEX, CLASS, and JAR formats but provide an easier way to optimize and modify each of these types of files that run on the Android platform. Thankfully, as Smali code is seen as a lower level language than Java or C++, it allows for code to be understood easily and therefore makes it easier to locate points within the code that require modifications to be made.
Smali assembly language files are typically encoded in UTF-8 encoding, making them readable by text editors such as Notepad++. This makes it easily accessible to even entry-level developers who are just beginning to learn about Android coding!

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SMALI) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SMALI extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SMALI file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SMALI extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SMALI extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SMALI file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SMALI file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SMALI file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SMALI file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SMALI file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
