Feature description
A dedicated UI module (Project Info) within the IDE to manage project "Health" and "Readiness," specifically fighting "Bloat."
Key Features:
- Dependency Optimizer: Cross-references build.gradle declarations with actual import statements. Flags unused libraries for one-click removal.
- Project Tree Export: A tool to copy the entire file structure as a text tree (Project Analyzer UI) to simplify community debugging.
- Optimization Insights: Provides a summary of heavy dependencies that might crash low-end devices. The scanning logic uses a lightweight parser to ensure it doesn't overload the mobile CPU.
Use Case
Preventing Build-Time OOM (Out of Memory) Crashes: As projects grow, developers often accumulate "test" or unused dependencies. On mobile devices with limited RAM (especially 32-bit), this "bloat" directly leads to OOM crashes during the Dexing phase. This tool identifies unused libraries for removal. Additionally, the text-based "Project Tree" simplifies community-led debugging when users ask for help, avoiding the need to share full project ZIPs.
Benefits
- Reduced APK Size: Helps keep projects lean and optimized by removing junk.
- Faster Compilation: Fewer dependencies mean a shorter build path.
- Community Support: The "Tree Copy" feature allows users to share project structures instantly on Telegram/GitHub issues without sending large files.
