CodeLocator is a developer tool designed to help analyze, navigate, and understand large Android codebases — especially useful when working with obfuscated code, many dependencies, or when you don’t have full context (e.g. in large apps or reverse-engineering contexts). It provides capabilities to quickly locate references, method calls, resource usages, and dependency paths across the project, which can dramatically speed up understanding code flow, tracing bugs, or auditing code. By giving a UI or structured navigation interface (depending on platform integration) over the project’s code and metadata, CodeLocator helps developers find where particular functions, classes or resources are used, and see their call graphs or dependency chains. This becomes particularly valuable in large-scale Android projects, legacy codebases, or when dealing with complicated modular architectures.
Features
- Static code analysis and search across large Android codebases — fast lookup of methods, classes, resources, and references
- Call-graph / dependency-chain navigation to trace where and how code is used across modules
- Support for obfuscated or complex codebases — helpful when symbols are mangled or resources are scattered
- Helps audit code, find dead code / unused references, and understand dependency structure for refactoring or maintenance
- Improves developer onboarding or code comprehension in large-scale/legacy Android projects
- Useful for reverse-engineering, code audits, or large-project maintenance where understanding cross-module usages is needed
