Same code's exported apk in Android Studio is way bigger than Intellij IDEA

Question

I have this very simple application with one simple Activity that on start downloads a file from a server. That's it. Nothing more. Yet when I export this application from Android Studio, the apk size is 1.1 MB, and when I export it from IntelliJ IDEA, it becomes as small as 40 KB. That's a HUGE difference.

What might be wrong here? Everything is in default mode, just the IDE differs here.

It's because intellij remove some useless resource ,like image .And you haven't set in android studio. — tiny sunlight, Dec 26 '15 at 15:21

Need to set the shrinkResource to true

And also set the shrinkMode to strict for maximum shrinking.

Follow this link shrinkResources set to true, but all unused resources (specifically drawables) not getting removed
