MethodsCount | Each library

MethodsCount is a Ruby library. MethodsCount has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

MethodsCount is a web service (and API) to help with the task of assessing the size of the Android library ecosystem. From a simple web interface it's possible to ask for the details of a given Android library, such as:. The methods count is useful to understand the influence of the adopted libraries on the total size of the method table, a critical factor for pre-Lollipop Android versions, which still suffer from the old 65k methods limit. In order to compute this information, we use, at the core, gradlew. For more details look at this SO answer (full disclosure: its ours). What's important to know is that the computation for each library is quite CPU intensive, in particular if the dependencies have themselves not been computed yet (it's a recursive procedure). This is also why we try to cache as much as possible (more details soon). The application has been written in Sinatra + Javascript, supported by a MySQL database. The web application is entirely written in Javascript (so to uncouple the development of frontend and backend) and it consumes a set of APIs provided by the backend. The backend is written in Ruby on top of Sinatra. It's been necessary split the app in to services, due to the different resource requirements of serving users (possibly at a big scale) and execute CPU intensive library computation tasks.
