about

• apkView.py - carves out the dex file, then overwrites the view with it
• dexView.py - responsible for rendering the dexView + dex arch in binary ninja
• dexFile.py - this deals with the dex file structure

upstream binja issues

• [CRITICAL] architecture doesn't have reference to the BinaryView Vector35/binaryninja-api#551 (might have workaround)
• [CRITICAL] SessionData doesn't persist. This would save the string table. (might have workaround)
• [CRITICAL] container format support: Vector35/binaryninja-api#133 (might have workaround)
• [LOW] function tray UI tree view Vector35/binaryninja-api#728
• [LOW] decompiled source code view: Vector35/binaryninja-api#541 (workaround documented below)

decompiled source code view workarounds:
* show_plain_text_report
* show_html_report
* show_markdown_report

(semi-)fixed binja issues

• split python plugins from UI thread: Vector35/binaryninja-api#390
• block highlighting apis: Vector35/binaryninja-api#417
