- winrid 6y agoWell, for one, the app in question does a lot more than the example app in C. The example app doesn't even support half the permissions my app uses. Add those and you're probably in megabyte territory. Even if not, the point is that for apps going on the marketplace - this kind of thing probably isn't worth it.
- wingi 6y agoOnly adding permissions and some functions on it - it will not blow to 8 mb...
- winrid 6y agoWhat about a drawing mechanism like Canvas? What about custom font support? JSON serialisation? Google Play Services support? A websocket client? That's just off the top of my head the dependencies of said app. I'm not confident the C one would be much smaller, especially since Java's bytecode is more compact.
