OK, I’ve looked further into those “res” folders and have found some rather large screen.png images. I had assumed that they would be resized for each screen type.
I will re-upload the images at a smaller size and I believe we will come in under 15MB.
Thank you for the help as I get started with this framework.
Being from a java background I tried to unzip the .apk to get more clarity in what was taking up the space.
It turns out the assets are 8.0MB, most of that is taken up by the onsen-ui library.
du -sh assets/www/components/*
4.0K assets/www/components/loader.css
588K assets/www/components/loader.js
8.0K assets/www/components/monaca-cordova-loader
68K assets/www/components/monaca-core-utils
6.8M assets/www/components/monaca-onsenui
The real space was taken up by the “res” folder:
res/*
5.3M res/drawable-hdpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-land-hdpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-land-ldpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-land-mdpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-land-xhdpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-land-xxhdpi-v4
5.4M res/drawable-land-xxxhdpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-ldpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-mdpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-port-hdpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-port-ldpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-port-mdpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-port-xhdpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-port-xxhdpi-v4
5.4M res/drawable-port-xxxhdpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-xhdpi-v4
5.3M res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4
5.4M res/drawable-xxxhdpi-v4
Does this mean I need to drop splash screens, build for one “catch all” screen size or have different builds for different resolutions?
Cheers,
I believe I have these installed:
Thanks for the response.
I have these components (standard ones) loaded.
I also have 6 simple html files and an .mp3 file that’s 197KB.
When I export the whole app for backup it’s 2.7MB, When I build for android it’s 102.9MB.
Did I understand your use of “assets” correctly?
Thanks again.
Hi,
I have a very simple app with just a few pages and when I did my first google play store build the app came out to 100Mb. For a very small app this seems like a massively large app size that makes it hard to get customers to install. Am I missing something with my setup?
Kind Regards,
Ian.
