  • When i used admob once, i also noticed increase in size around 600Kb. That was a long ago, though. Just look at java libs that exported in your apk and see yourself is it admob or something else. – weaknespase Mar 09 '14 at 09:05

650KB would be typical for Admob integration, you have nothing to worry about.

  • thanks but I see some aplication in google play their sizes about 750 KB or less (such as Flappy Birds) and also they have advertisement. the reason is they are using old "googleplayservice" .jar files. isn't it? – mehmet Mar 09 '14 at 11:06
  • It could be they are using the old .jar files, or maybe "Flappy bird" really only takes up around 100KB of space. I can see this being possible. – tpbapp Mar 10 '14 at 00:34
  • Those small apk files are using standalone Admob SDK. You can decrease the size of the new one using Proguard. – Saran May 17 '14 at 16:41
  • Google Play Services consumes about 690 kB more than the old AdMob 6.4.1 JAR, in my own experience. This is because the old library was just a jar, but the new one contains a lot of extra images & other resources which may not be eliminated in the final APK, even if they're otherwise not used. – Learn OpenGL ES Jun 10 '14 at 13:58

    @LearnOpenGLES thanks for the info. I think you may be correct in that most (around 60-70%) of the excess size in OP's application is Google Play Services. – tpbapp Jun 10 '14 at 14:11
