Export apk from phone?

I compiled and ran the project on my phone through eclipse, which is still installed there. During the cleaning of some directories, I accidentally deleted the source code, so the only remaining version of the code is in the apk installed on my phone. Is there a way to export the application back to my computer? It is not signed or anything else.

Thanks!

You can configure it to be able to copy files on your phone via a USB connection - here where you can find it: Does Android support .apk files? if so, where?

Then, after you get .apk, look at these questions for decompilation:

Can I decompile an .apk file for Android?

decompile DEX into Java source code

You CAN pull the APK from the phone, but it will be a Java bytecode, not your source code (whether it is signed or not). You will need to redesign the classes to extract the code. If this is not a VERY large application, I would say that your time is best spent simply by republishing it.
