android - Multiple APK Support

Question

I am working on application with multiple types choices and every type has different UI, content and operations.

If i packaged all activities, xml and drawables files inside same .apk file for all users with showing and hiding methodology it's an inefficient way as it waste user space and download time.

Are there another ways to upload activities,xml and drawables files to external servers and download them based on user selected choice?

appreciated any help. thanks.

Answer 1

You may download the Activities and other Java classes from the server and load them up, perhaps even Drawables, but XML part would be a tricky one.

If you can manage to avoid XMLs by creating layouts with Java if Layout is what you meant by XML, the answer is yes, it is possible.

You will need to explore how to load Java classes at runtime.
