Android Question Do Unused But Included Libs Still Get Compiled?

[Shadow&Max]

If you have several libs checked, and your app doesn't use one or two of them are they still compiled into the final apk?

For example, you have the Camera lib checked, and your app doesn't use the camera, is the camera lib still compiled into the finished apk?

I suppose that it is so.

However, it is easy to verify: compare the size of the apk.


P.S. verified: yes, they are included

That is correct. Referenced libraries are compiled into the APK. Note that the permissions will not be added. Permissions are only added when you declare an object that requires the permissions.
