Well, first you need to figure out what is taking up space to see where the big wins will be. Typically this means resource files.
Remove resources that are seldom used, consider downloading them when they're needed and then saving them to your data directory. Obviously you need to be very careful with this because it could have negative user experience impacts, but sometimes there are gains that you can get here. Make sure any image files are as small as they can be. The G1 currently displays 16-bit images, so if you're bundling 32-bit images, you're wasting space. Often downsampling the bit depth can make a significant dent in resource sizes. Cheers, Justin Android Team @ Google On Dec 16, 12:11 pm, Tom <thomasfmc...@gmail.com> wrote: > My APK is 1.2M.
