I wrote this script since I was reverse engineering a systemui and was working with some custom layouts where I had to use gradle/andoid studio to compile the apk and get the smali code by apktool. Even tho, I couldn't compile some classes which had restricted apis like 'SurfaceControl'. So, I decided to write this script to do the task much faster. Feel free to open an Issue if you find any and you can contribute to this to repo by forking it.
