Android :: Installed Application Size Vs APK File Size
Jul 8, 2010
Can somebody explain to me what makes up the installed application size? I have an apk that is about 8 MB, and often when I install I get the INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE error. I have around 25-30 MB free space on the phone. I'm doing debugging so I have to upload lots of new versions. If I uninstall the previous version then I can install the new version. The application manager claims that the app is taking up 22 MB. So back to the original question, how come the app is taking up 22 MB when it really only is 8 MB?

I'm looking for a way to calculate the size of an installed Android application/package. I can't find this information in neither ApplicationInfo nor PackageInfo objects. From the ApplicationInfo I can get the path for the data and the app itself. Data is a directory structure, but when attempting to read it recursivly I get a nullpointer. Is there any better way of doing it? Any sample code?

I want to reduce the file size of my application in the market. The strange thing is that my application "LeonardFrog.apk" just uses 4mb but the Google-Market shows me that it uses 8mb. You can search for it (Leonard Frog Beta) in the market. How can this be???
In my application, there are many images and long sounds. My folder "res" just uses 3,7mb and there is nothing else in my game beside the quellcode. So WHY is the size of my game in the market 8mb?

I'm trying to figure out how to get the size of an installed app.What's already failed:
- new File('/data/app/some.apk')
- reports incorrect size
- PackageManager.getPackageSizeInfo(String packageName, IPackageStatsObserver observer) - is @hide and relies on some obscure IPackageStatsObserver for result so I can't call it via reflection.

So I'm loading images from a web service, but the size of the images are sometimes smaller or bigger than other images and the visualization looks silly when I put them in a ListView in android. I'd like to fix the size of my ImageView so that it only shows a portion of the image if it's larger than a preset amount. I've tried everything I can think of setting the setMaxWidth/setMaxHeight, setting the scale type to centerCrop, using ClipableDrawable wrapping my BitmapDrawable, setting using Drawable.setBounds(). I've tried setting in the XML and programmatically, but neither worked. I'm very surprised setting max width/height didn't do anything. Below is the XML I'm using ImageView definition in my layout file

I am currently developing a dictionary application with voice database. I would like to know about the current Android limitation on the file size. I am using a self-provided sqlite database ( > 50mb ) . I tested that once the built .apk size exceeds ~30mb the app will not be installed onto the simulator (INSTALL_FAILED_ INSUFFICIENT _STORAGE). Could anyone confirm me that if up until now there is no way to embed such large size files in a single apk ( Aimed to sell at Google Market without requiring user to download datafile afterwards). Also, is there a limitation of 1,048,576 bytes for a single file in the assets folder ?

if size of image is larger than or smaller than specified display size (on screen), then it is automatically, compressed and stretched resp by android run time or require to handle by explicitly.

I would like to know why the size of my shared library .so is bigger than my .apk file generated with Eclipse? Approximatly the so size is twice the apk one. What is strange is after having installed it in the device (2.1 firmware) I checked the size of the apk when I uninstalled it from the device and surprisingly the apk size indicated is bigger even than the .so one. Is there any explaination of that?

My app downloads .png files to the sd card for later use. I kept getting OutOfMemoryErrors (if anyone could explain this too, that'd be great!) and so I took a look at the sizes of the images saved to the sd card, and they seem to be roughly double what they are on the server. Why is this, and how can I make them smaller?
public void onCreate(Bundle saved)
setContentView(R.layout.namedrxnscreen);
TextView t1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.rxn_text1);
TextView t2 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.rxn_text2);
TextView t3 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.rxn_text3);
TextView t4 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.rxn_text4);
iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.rxn_image);
pb = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.rxn_loading);
vs = (ViewSwitcher) findViewById(R.id.rxn_switch);

Does the X use a FAT32 file system? Is there any way to change this? I'm asking because I have a 4+GB mkv file I want to put on it, but I'm getting a message telling me its too large for the file system. If no way to change, then can anyone suggest a way to make this file small enough to fit?

I have to download a file and I'm using this code, which is basically an AsyncTask that is meant to update a progress bar. But, since I don't know what's the file size I've been having to use the spinner progress bar. So, how can I get the file size before start downloading it so that I can use a normal progress bar?

I had the thought of checking for tampering with the apk by embedding a couple of checks against it's size once installed on the device.I was just a bit concerned that maybe the size would change dependent on the device (e.g. different FS format or whatever).

Is there a limit to the size of the .apk file when using it on the emulator. When I run the default app created while creating a project, the .apk file size is about 5K and it runs ok. When I try to run a real app which uses other application libraries so that the total size is about 325K, I get the following error: Failed to upload Benchmark.apk on device 'emulator-5554' java.io.IOException: Unable to upload file: timeout Launch canceled! I had increased the heap size of emulator to 64 MB and RAM size to 192 MB.

My app needs to save files that will range from about 2-20mb. When I tried to do this I was getting an OutOfMemoryException. I did some reading and it's looking like Android has a file size limit of 1mb. Is this correct? If so, is there a way around this limitation, other than splitting up every file into 1mb chunks?

I have written a small video player application. In that some video files are playing well. But some are not playing at all. I am thinking that this is because of the video size.
So I just want to let the users know the size of the video and to show an alert saying because of this size, this file can't be played.
How to know the size of the video?

I want to create a progress Bar for an FTP download. The server where I am downloading the file has all of its directories and files hidden. I want to display the progress of the download. Is there any way I can get the file size? Here is my current code:
FTP client = new FTP Client();
FTP client.setListHiddenFiles
FTP client.connect(host Part);
FTP client.login(user Name, password);
FTPclient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
Input Stream instream = FTP client.retrieveFileStream(pathExcludingHostIncludingFirstSlash);
int l;
byte[] tmp = new byte[2048];
int update Counter = 0;
int bytes Downloaded = 0;
while ((l = instream.read(tmp)) != -1) {
Foss.write(tmp, 0, l);
bytes Downloaded+=2048;
update Counter++;
if(update Counter==3){
kilobytes Downloaded=(bytes Downloaded / 1024);
publish Progress((String[])null);
update Counter=0}

Does anyone know the maximum file size you can copy to your SD card via USB.I have tried to put a couple movies on there, and avi files that are about 700mb work fine, but if I try to put a 4GB video on there, it gives me a error instantly saying something about invalid paramater.The card is the stock 8gb one that came with the phone, and it was not even close to being full when I tried this.

When I try to push a 40MB file onto the sdcard adb hangs and the emulator freezes. Is there a file limitation that I am not aware of? I couldn't find anything on this. When I try the same with a smaller file it works without problems. I have configured the sdcard of the emulator device to have a size of 512MB and when I check with adb shell df I see that there is enough space.
