如何在Android中生成小apk

Question

I have prepared Android Applications which contains 8 Activities. 1st Default activity contains only two EditText to get username and password and 2 Buttons(one for login and other for new user registration) In registration activity there are 6 EditText and 6 TextView. and in remaining all activity there is only one TextView with Small line is written,

But when I check size of APK file it shows me 411 KB. How can I generate small APK.

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

411KB is already pretty small for an android application.

Most are at least 1 or 2 megabytes. I don't think you need to worry about the size of your application as it stands at the moment.

However, if you really want to reduce the size of your APK, you could make sure to delete any redundant resources, or (as Richard Le Mesurier said) try using ProGuard .

Answer 2

To add to what Tom Leese said in his answer , you could run ProGuard on your build.

That will result in an optimally small APK.

Edit your project.properties file and look for the line that says:

# To enable ProGuard to shrink and obfuscate your code, uncomment this (available properties: sdk.dir, user.home):
#proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt:proguard-project.txt

When you run an external signed build using the Android Tools menu, ProGuard will shrink your app.
