    I have an app up on the Play Store. However, i have recently changed laptop and didn't take it with me. Is there a way to retrieve my code?

    Hmm this is why backups are a good idea, and to use a source code repository such as github or bitbucket.

    Download it and pull the apk off your device, or use something like https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=apk%20downloader

    As a last resort, your going to have to decompile the code (dex2jar followed by jd-gui for example) and re-construct a new project. (added difficulty if the code is obfuscated, this I believe with Android studio now is the default behavior using ProGuard).

    However you need to use the same package name, otherwise you are uploading a new/separate project. But you will have to do this anyway if you don't have a copy of your original signing key.
