## What

This program will inspect the resources of your app and help you understand which ones are not being used and could
potentially be removed.

Main features:

- Identify the unused resources in your android project.
- Identify the unused resources in your android library (when you have a multi-repo setup)
- Listing of the unused resources (name, type and size)
- Deletion of the unused resources

## Installing

This program requires Python, supporting from 3.8.x and 3.9.x

In order to install run:

```shell
pip install -U android-resources-checker
```

## Using

## Inspecting your app resources.

Imagining your app in the project `subject-app`, you can trigger the resources inspection by running:

```shell
android-resources-checker --app /path/to/subject-app
```

## Inspecting your library app resources.

In the case you have two projects in separate repos, where a `client-app` depends on a `lib-app`, you can check the
unused resources of the library app by running:

```shell
android-resources-checker \
  --app /path/to/lib-app \
  --client /path/to/client-app-1 \
  --client /path/to/client-app-2
```

An example of a run could look like this:

## Reports

The default behavior is to generate reports on both the stdout and CSV.

You can specify a single type of report using the `--report=(CSV|STDOUT)` option.

If using CSV reports, you can specify the directory where to write the reports in the form of CSV files. For that use
the `--reports-dir` option.

For example:

```shell
android-resources-checker \
  --app /path/to/app \ 
  --reports-dir /path/to/reports
```

## Validation

There is also the option to run this as a validation tool. In this case, it will fail with an error if any unused
resources are found. 

To specify the validation use the `--check` flag (the default behavior is to perform no validation).

## Automatic Deletion

You can use this tool to also delete the unused resources by using the `--delete` option.
