I've just recenty gotten into using expansion files for Android apps. In the example the app needs to know the final size of the expansion as well as the version number. This is annoying as heck for development and I have temporarily commented out the code responsible.
I imagine for a release build I should re-enable it, but why is this good practice? Are we concerned that perhaps the file might be corrupt and we could tell this because it would be the wrong size? It also seems rather annoying that we have to update the entire apk just because we've updated some assets and want to change a version and/or file size number. Why don't we instead ask the google servers what the file name is to get the version, and the size, so that we know if we have the right size? Is this impossible? Too complicated? Or perhaps we're so concerned about androids corrupting their data that we need some way to check integrity even when we do not have an internet connection or permission to use it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
