As an Android app developer, it's crucial to optimize your app's size and performance. One effective way to achieve this is by using the APK Analyzer in Android Studio. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to use the APK Analyzer in Android Studio to analyze and optimize your app's size.

To start, navigate to the debug folder of your project, which can be found at SlothSanctuary-Starter/app/build/outputs/apk/debug. This will open a dialog for your filesystem. From here, launch the analyzer by selecting Build ▸ Analyze APK.

The APK Analyzer is a powerful tool that provides a detailed breakdown of your app's file size and what contributes to it. By analyzing your app's file size, you can identify areas where optimization is needed, such as reducing image sizes or minimizing code duplication.

In addition to the APK Analyzer, we'll also explore how to add excitement to your app by using the BubblePicker library. This popular library allows you to create interactive and visually appealing user interfaces.
