Pro Version app apk size is twice than free version app when download from Playstore

My Application has two versions of flavors. FREE and PRO. When i generate sind apks, they are both the same size. But when i download them from google play pro version is twice bigger.
Here is my gradle code. If you need anything else to help i will provide.

I solve the problem , when i upload new apk to google play , there was a check box , for adding obb file (file size was 12 mb) , you can just uncheck and upload apk . that`s it )) Thank you Azizbekian for such a quick reply.

DuplicateFileException in apk build using Kotlin

I am trying to build a basic app using Kotlin/Anko but I am getting the following duplicate file exception

onClick {
ui.owner.startActivityForResult<MainActivityKotlin>(1)
}
}.lparams {
gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM or Gravity.END
}
}
}
}
And the content is set on MainActivityKotlin file using the method MainUI().setContentView(this) in its onCreatemethod.
I have tried deleting the gradle cache and building the project again but nothing works. Please let me know where am I going wrong?

Remove compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-android-extensions:$kotlin_version" from your gradle
Remove also all buildscript section from you app level gradle

Try this one:
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
compile ("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-android-extensions:$kotlin_version") {
transitive = false
}
Also you don't need the android-extensions dependency anymore, as it's bundled into the plugin. Just having the apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions' in your gradle is enough.

How to override android tests path with Gradle?

For historical reason instrumentation tests are not stored in androidTests directory as required and i can't change directories structure (actually whole app is tests for the library used). I was able to build and install apk with gradle, but no tests were found:
:app-tests:connectedDebugAndroidTest
Tests on test_avd(AVD) - 4.1.2 failed: Instrumentation run failed due to 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException'
com.android.builder.testing.ConnectedDevice > No tests found.[test_avd(AVD) - 4.1.2] FAILED
No tests found. This usually means that your test classes are not in the form that your test runner expects (e.g. don't inherit from TestCase or lack #Test annotations).
:app-tests:connectedDebugAndroidTest FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app-tests:connectedDebugAndroidTest'.
> There were failing tests. See the report at: file:///Users/asmirnov/Documents/dev/src/project/app-tests/build/reports/androidTests/connected/index.html
Actually the tests are in src folder, written correctly and can be built/runned using Ant:
public abstract class BaseTest extends AndroidTestCase
{
...
public class AppInfoTest extends BaseTest
{
#Test
public void testAllProperties()
{
...
...
How can i make Gradle process src folder as android (instrumentation) tests?
Here is my current build.gradle file (it uses the experimental Android Gradle plugin version 0.7.2 because we have an NDK library):

Error
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Not completely sure this will work for your scenario, but you can update the root of the androidTest sourceSet like this
android {
sourceSets {
androidTest.setRoot('src')
}
}
There is also a test source set if it's just Java code, nothing Android specific.
You could also play around with the java.srcDir setting...
The above setting will look at these locations for your files.
<project>/<module>/src/AndroidManifest.xml
<project>/<module>/src/java
If you'd like to move both into the /src directory, you can use
sourceSets {
androidTest {
setRoot 'src'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
}
}
More Android Gradle details can be read at Configuring the Structure
You are welcome to debug these settings yourself with this setup
sourceSets {
androidTest {
setRoot 'src'
java.srcDirs = ['./src']
}
println "androidTest.manifest.srcFile = ${androidTest.manifest.srcFile}"
println "androidTest.java.srcDirs = ${androidTest.java.srcDirs}"
}
When you just clean the project, you'll see those lines being printed to the console

Instead of sources {} you should use sourceSets {} and the androidTest source set to customize the test source code location:
model { // Required for experimental plugin.
android {
sourceSets {
androidTest {
manifest.srcFile '../AppTest/AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['../AppTest/src']
res.srcDirs = ['../AppTest/res']
assets.srcDirs = ['../AppTest/assets']
}
}
}
}
Note that this not not apply to unit test. For unit test (like with Robolectric), use the test source set.

It was tricky solution: to use experimental gradle plugin to compile native code with NDK and regular gradle plugin for test app.
build.gradle:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
// experimental gradle plugin for the library to compile native code with NDK
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.7.2"
// regular gradle plugin for the tests
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'
}
}
subprojects {
task listAllDependencies(type: DependencyReportTask) {}
}
library gradle (experimental):
apply plugin: 'com.android.model.library'
...
model {
android {
...
ndk {
moduleName = "library-jni"
cppFlags.add("-std=c++11")
cppFlags.add("-fexceptions")
stl = "c++_static"
abiFilters.addAll(['armeabi-v7a', 'x86']) // supported abis only
}
...
}
...
}

}
androidTest {

jni {

You are adding the same class with different versions twice.
You are using the Google play services modules with different releases:
Use:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'

Android Parceler library: Unable to find generated Parcelable class

I'm trying to use the Parceler library in my Android Studio project.
The project has two modules, one is the app itself and the other is a personal android core library containing various helpers and generic entities.
However, I've added the Parceler dependency in my core library because I need it there too, so in the library build.gradle I've added the following lines:
compile "org.parceler:parceler-api:1.0.4"
apt "org.parceler:parceler:1.0.4"
I've not specified these lines inside the app build.gradle file because the dependency from Parceler will be imported automatically.
In my app I've defined an entity that have to be Parcelable and which implementation is:
#Parcel
public class Course {
public String name;
public Course() { /*Required empty bean constructor*/ }
public Course(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
But when I try to do
Course[] courses = ...retrieved from server...
Parcelable p = Parcels.wrap(courses);
The framework fires the following exception:
org.parceler.ParcelerRuntimeException: Unable to find generated Parcelable class for [Lit.bmsoftware.lotoapp.network.entity.Course;, verify that your class is configured properly and that the Parcelable class [Lit.bmsoftware.lotoapp.network.entity.Course;$$Parcelable is generated by Parceler.
I've already read various posts for that exception but I can't find a solution for my problem.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks in advance :)

The current release (1.0.4) does not support arrays of #Parcel annotated classes via the Parcels utility class. Instead, I'd suggest using a List:
List<Course> courses = ...retrieved from server...
Parcelable p = Parcels.wrap(courses);
