Installed size

Open pejakm opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

Compiled apk is at 1 MB while installed size is almost 2,5 MB. Since some of us have low end phones with limited disk space, this size for a simple* app like this is questionable. I suppose the external libraries are the cause of the size increase, am I right? Is there a way to reduce the size?

  • Disclaimer: My intention is not to disregard or to slur, I think this is app is very useful. I only try to start a discussion which could help improve the app.

Actually that bothered me too. It seems building against API 21 (Lollipop) double the size of the application. I will look into it but I'm opened to suggestions too. What is your Android version ? If you use the ART runtime, applications will take more disk space.

I'm running Android 4.2.2 that came with my phone (Prestigio), so it's mostly stock Android. I'm afraid I don't know what ART is.

Maybe the Android Support lib grown with the last iteration. Either way I was planning on refactoring and stripping everything I can. I'll keep this thread updated.
