Android Question 55 new language in the APK with B4a 3.2

[marcick]

Hi all,
after upgrading to B4A 3.2 I did some small modifications at my program and was ready to publish the new APK in the store. But I see now that the APK is much bigger and 55 new language have been added in the "localization". My previous APK prior to B4A 3.2 had just the default language.
Where is now the choice of how many language support and leave just the default ?

Nothing was added automatically. What you are seeing are the resources you've added with the #AdditionalRes setting.

Understand.
But I was already using the GoogleMap library & PlayService before B4A 3.2 and I had just the default language in the APK.
Now to work correctly with B4A 3.2, accordling to the updated instruction here http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-maps-android-v2-tutorial.24415/ I obtain the larger APK with 55 languages ...
What is needed to obtain just the default language as before ?
Maybe I have to remove the folders value-ru, value-ro, value-sk etc and leave just value-it ?

You can delete the resources you don't need from the google-play res folder. I wouldn't do it unless the size is critical as you may break google-play library.

The resources are an integral part of this library.

well, it's about from 0.88MB to 1.5MB, I don't know if this difference is relevant or not in normal devices.
Also, My app is distributed just in Italy.
But I understand, you can't tell if that library would have trouble or not removing parts of it ...
I'll do an experiment.
Thanks
Marco

Did Experiments.
Not useful to remove the folders of other language from google-play res folder.
It's the new google-play-service library that has grown from 500K to 1.25M.
Bye
