Scala Programming for Android

I’ve written some basic Android applications in Scala, nothing too epic. Not being a Java programmer I was suggested to use a “treeshake”, I was explained by a friend that this strips out all the unnecessary libraries from the jar files.

I have not documented it, but I found that someone else already has:

Proguard is not the only solution, you might find something that suits your work flow or is more suited for your environment.

Additionally google have just realised JACK , which deals with quite a lot of reducing build and memory times see https://source.android.com/source/jack.html
