App Size Getting Increased

Recently i have used Fused Location API for location purpose. Before applying google play service library com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0 the app size was 4.3MB(4,499,23

Solution 1:

Take a look here at setting up Google Play Services:

https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup

It is broken down into modules so you can import only the API's you need. In your case you would need only

com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.3.0

instead of

com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0

which is the entire package.

Additionally, if you are running Proguard at the end of your packaging (minifyEnabled true inside your build.gradle), it will strip out classes which your codebase isn't using, further minimizing the size of your final APK.

Solution 2:

How about using only location dependency?

com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.3.0
