apk size

[gabsoftware]

Gasflow is advertised as "lightweight" but I find 11 MB to be quite big for such a small app. Please reduce the apk size :-)

Would it be possible to generate the picture used for the notification instead of storing every possible values?

Oh, that's why the app is so heavy, I was very surprised when I installed it.

[gabsoftware]

The app itself is lightweight but its resources make it heavyweight.

[gabsoftware]

Maybe it would be doable to only have pictures of digits from 0 to 9 and compose the speed number from that? For example 123 KB/s would display the picture of 1, then 2, then 3?

Maybe we could generate the bitmap on the fly, but it will downgrade the performance because generating bitmaps will take more CPU and RAM.

Anyway, I compressed (lossless) the PNG files so the app size will be a bit smaller (https://github.com/mridang/gasflow/pull/8)

Or you could generate bitmap cache at first launch, so the apk is not so heavy, but the bitmaps are still present for work.

Does it have to be pictures, can't it be text? Just asking, not sure it that's possible for Android notification bar. For example using setNumber.

@Almtesh that's a good idea, i can try to generate the bitmaps and cache them @gabsoftware no it can't be text, just bitmaps. setNumber is used to give an extra number (like unread messages) only
