Unity 4.6 - Android apk size problem

Hi everyone,
I have a map.jpg with size 0.99MB on disk but when I import this file to the project and build to apk for Android. The apk size increases 4.5MB in size.

I wonder if this is normal?
Please help me with an advice on how to reduce the apk size!

Thank you very much.

Please check device filter by following the below steps:

Go to Project Setting–>Player–>Other Settings—>Device Filter.

Make sure you have selected Device Filter to ARM 7 only

Because in unity 4.6 the build supports both x86 and ARM 7 by default.

Hope this helps you.

Hi phuongdong008,

you have too keep in mind that the Unity apk-file includes far more than your simple image. Theres the splash screen, unity specific class, scene fileslibraries etc.

If you want you could try tools like Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.. But keep in mind that this probably isn’t worth the effort, as it can lead to really nasty errors . (Your file is only 4.5MB)
