Loquacious - Getting resources on demand
Loquacious is a library for saving resources (Strings, booleans, whatever) in a localized way.
My main objective (please know that this is a proof of concept) is to try to reduce the APK size more and more. The aim of this library is:
- Having your own server that will have your resources (and you will query based on the system features the user has setted / changed)
- Having empty resources in your APK, not separated by different archs/densities/locales/whatever. This way:
- We reduce the .arsc table, as there are not repetitions nor empty trashings
- We reduce the resources files, since they are all empty (and will be queried to your back end)
- The developer still feels and interacts with the system as usual, so we dont harass the environment
Usage
Please refer to the wiki for usage and installation
