how to reduce android app size?

Question

First of all , I am using android studio for development of android app. I have build an android app for OCR using tesseract library. The app is currently working great and giving desire output but my problem is with its size. The size of the build app is 30 MB which is high compared to other OCR app available. I have tried "minifyenabled = true" but it reduce just 300 kb of size. So my question is how to reduce size of my app?

Answer 1

You can use APK splits to build smaller versions of your app that target individual device architectures. For an example of this, see the San Angeles demo project.

You can get a further reduction by removing the libpngt.so/libjpgt.so files if your app doesn't need them.

Using ProGuard may help too.
