How to add/edit/change files in Android APK file?

How to modify files which are already packaged into a apk file? For example, you want to change some configuration but don't want to rebuild the project again.

You can sign your apk file by using jarsigner, for example, jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore yourkeystore.file $1 alias <<< password

For example, in my case, my service is going to write sd card. If you start your service immediately, some phones may fail because the sd card is not ready. (my app works well on Galaxy Nexus but fails on Droid. The error is java.io.filenotfoundexception: permission denied .) To add several-second-delay, you can do like this: Timer timer = new Timer (); timer . schedule ( new TimerTask () { ...
