A Python command-line utility that removes unused resources from Android projects based on Android Lint output, reducing APK size. It parses lint results and deletes the reported unused resource files, runnable repeatedly until no unused resources remain.
Use cases
- reduce my android apk size by removing unused resources
- clean up unused drawables and layouts in an android project
- delete resources flagged by android lint automatically
- shrink app size before release
- run lint and remove unused resource files in one step
- clean unused resources in a gradle android project
When to choose
- you have an Android project with lint configured and want to automatically delete unused resources
- you want a simple scriptable way to shrink APK size by pruning dead resources
When to avoid
- you need a GUI-based resource analyzer or interactive review before deletion
- your project does not use Android lint or you cannot generate lint XML output
- you need actively maintained tooling with modern Python support
