Why use armeabi-v7a code over armeabi code?

by

Depends on what your native code does, but v7a has support for hardware floating point operations, which makes a huge difference. armeabi will work fine on all devices, but will be a lot slower, and won’t take advantage of newer devices’ CPU capabilities. Do take some benchmarks for your particular application, but removing the armeabi-v7a binaries is generally not a good idea. If you need to reduce size, you might want to have two separate apks for older (armeabi) and newer (armeabi-v7a) devices.
