After adding the library the application size is getting increased by 19 Mb. Without library, the apk size is 5.3 Mb and after flutter_pdf_viewer library is added apk size reached to 24 Mb.

You're going to have to take that upstream, sorry.

any idea what will be the apk size after generating split apk

devxpy commented 6 years ago

@chhota89. No idea, I never had an issue with the APK size.

You might be interested in open_file plugin which opens the pdf in external app, and hence the apk size is minimal.

@chhota89 I tested it out, and the resulting APK size decreased significantly, around 5x less, from ~50MB to ~10MB.

Keep in mind that you will need to set the --target switch for each flutter build apk command, since flutter will only add libflutter.so for 32-bit ARM (armeabi-v7a) by default. Will add a section in the README, about this.
