AndResGuard is a tool to proguard resource for Android, just like ProGuard in Java. It can change res/drawable/wechat to r/d/a, and rename the resource file wechat.png to a.png. Finally, it repackages the apk with 7zip, which can reduce the package size obviously.

Loquacious is a library for managing localized resources remotely.

In simple terms, this library will:

  • Reduce the APK size
  • Let us have dynamic resources that can change whenever we want
  • Let us have dynamic resources indexed by the current system configuration (eg. localization)
  • Reduce the .arsc symbol table. Instead of having a lot of entries for each configuration, you will only have each item once in a default configuration (and they will be "created" on-demand).
  • Reduce the res/dir files. As now you should only define each resource once and empty (they will get downloaded at a later stage)
  • Letting the developer still retrieve their resources as usual (context.getResources().getX(R.X.whatever))

An easy way to dynamically replace Strings of your Android App or provide new languages Over-the-air without needed to publish a new release on Google Play

The problem strings are inside our App

If there's a typo or you find a better way to express something, a new version needs to be deployed to include the newer translation. This is a slow process and a poor user experience. We all know users take their time to update an app and there's also the time Google Play takes to make a new version of an app available

How Philology solves this problem?

Philology doesn't replace the way you are using resources. It improves the process by intercepting the value returned from your hardcoded translation files inside of the app and check if there is a newer value in the server. This allows for typo fixing, better wording or even for adding a new language. All in real time, without releasing a new version. With Philology you could replace hardcoded texts instantly and win time before a new release is d

ResOf is an android resource wrapper library and we don't need to do any initialization!

Have you ever been in a situation where you had to access android Resources (strings, colours, drawables, etc.) based on their names (for example if the names are stored in a DB, or come from an API) and you had to write long lookup tables converting the names into R.XXXX.ids? And maintaining them?

This library is offering a way around it by using reflection to access the Resource directly by name.

  • You only need to include them as normal into your Res folder tree.
  • It uses LRU caching to mitigate the reflection time overhead.
  • It also includes a few convenience functions to help change Drawable colour based on a hex colour value.
