Apk build: FAT vs ARMv7

Hi. Can someone point me out why should i use the FAT build instead of just the ARMv7 one, if i am building for Android devices?
Are there Android devices running x86 systems?

There are x86 Android devices available, but of course they are in huge minority compared to ARM. Unless the APK size is a problem, you should still build fat APK to avoid the performance hit of running ARM code on x86.

Thanks. I will keep using Fat build then. APK size still isn’t a problem, and hopefully it will stay under 50mb.

What is the size difference for you using FAT vs ARMv7 ?

About 10mb more using the FAT build.
24.5mb with ARMv7 and 34.6mb with FAT.
