Sometimes an android application includes lots of static resources like html, css, jss or json files, this leads to a significant increase in the apk size. We all want our android application apk on diet. In this post, I will share a way to reduce the size of static resources thus reducing the size of apk.
I will be using node.js and gulp to compress static files. This post uses the code from a previous post.
This gradle plugin will be used to integrate minification within the build process.
The process includes following steps:
Following commands minify the static resources
Fully working code is available here.
Hope this helps. Happy coding.

The process includes following steps:
- Update build.gradle
- Put all the static resources in "static_src" under app folder. This path is configurable and can be changed in "minifyStaticResources" task
Following commands minify the static resources
./gradlew iG
cd app/gulp-task npm install
./gradlew mSR
