Android Question inside the object\....\res\values-xx where x is a lang

[chompina]

Hi.

Exploring all folders inside the objects, i can see some folders with names:

values-in
values-it
values-kk
values-iw
values-ja

and other folders

locations is Objects\bin\extra\resX\res , where X is a number, res1,res2,res3 etc.

there is a way to only left some specific language folder, like 'values', 'values-es', 'values-en'...

to reduce size apk file.

or is important folders that cannot be deleted?


thanks

see screenshots

Deleting these folders will not help to reduce the APK size as they will be created again during compilation. These are resources belonging to the referenced AAR libraries. Probably from Google Play Services.

thanks for response.

this AAR libraries can be edited to remove those lines, then during compilation no included some mentioned folders?

Not really.

if you add a option to run a cmd or program after 'copying library resources', to run a script or program that detect (from previous list) the folders or files that i want to hold, or the list of folder or files that i want to remove.

i guess it wil work.

finding way to reduce 0.5mb or 1mb or more.

thank you.

What I mean with "not really" is that this is not recommended as you can easily break something and it will be very difficult to detect. If you like you can delete the resources from inside the AAR file.
The result is that you will work hard and make your app less stable.
