During the development of the application program, a large number of pictures are used, and the pictures are different in size. Most pictures exist in a picture resource folder in the form of resources, and each picture is assigned an id for uniquely identifying the picture. The display of the picture needs to depend on the picture control ImageView, the picture control has a 'src' attribute, the picture id can be assigned to the 'src' attribute, and when the program runs, if the current control is detected to be the picture control, the corresponding picture resource file can be loaded to display according to the picture id in the 'src' attribute. The picture control can also display the picture file in the file system of the mobile phone, namely, the picture is analyzed and displayed through the picture file path.

FIG. 8A schematically illustrates a schematic diagram of generating an application installation package, according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

Fig. 8A shows that, for example, in this embodiment, the application may be an application running in an Android operating system, and the remote storage device may be a picture server 810, for example. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, all picture controls in program data 801 may be traversed to detect whether they use local picture resources. If the picture control uses a local picture resource, a tag is added to the picture resource 802 with which the picture control uses. Then uploading all marked picture resources 802 to the picture server 810, and acquiring picture remote addresses of the picture resources 802. The picture remote addresses of all picture resources are recorded in the address table file 803, and the address table file 803 is uploaded to the picture server 810, assuming that the storage address of the address table file 803 in the picture server 810 is remoteUrl, that is, the file remote address.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a custom picture control may be set for each native picture control. The user-defined picture control is developed on the basis of the original picture control, inherits the original picture control, has all functions of the original picture control, and can expand new functions. Compared with the native picture control, the custom picture control is added with an attribute: remoteSrc for representing a picture remote address of the picture resource. When a program runs, if the remotessrc attribute of the picture control is detected to have a value, whether the picture is downloaded or not is detected according to the picture remote address, if the picture is downloaded, the downloaded local picture is directly loaded, if the picture is not downloaded, the picture is downloaded according to the picture remote address in the remotessrc attribute value, the picture is displayed through the picture control after the downloading is completed, the picture is stored locally, and the picture does not need to be downloaded again when being displayed next time.

Based on this, in this embodiment, all the marked picture controls may be replaced with corresponding custom controls, and remoteSrc of the custom control is assigned as the picture remote address of the picture resource 802 corresponding to the original picture control. All marked picture resources 802 in the program data 801 may then be deleted and the file remote address remoteUrl of the address table file 803 saved in the program data 801. The program data 801 is then packaged into a package for installation.

Next, an installation package can be run to install the application.

Fig. 8B schematically shows a running application schematic according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

Fig. 8B shows that after the application 804 is installed, when the application 804 is started, whether the address table file 803 has been downloaded is detected in the background thread according to the file remote address remoteUrl of the address table file 803. If not, the address table file 803 is downloaded to the local.

According to the picture remote addresses in the address table file 803, whether the corresponding picture resources 802 have been downloaded is inquired one by one. If the picture resource 802 is not downloaded, downloading is performed according to the picture remote address, the downloaded picture resource 802 is stored in a local storage device, and the corresponding relation between the local address of the downloaded picture resource 802 and the picture remote address is recorded.

If a user-defined picture control is detected in the running process of the application 804, firstly, a picture remote address corresponding to the picture resource 802 is obtained according to the remoteSrc attribute of the user-defined picture control, a corresponding local address is inquired according to the picture remote address, and the inquired picture resource 802 is displayed.

If the downloading of the picture resource 802 fails or the downloaded picture resource 802 is lost, the picture resource 802 is directly downloaded again according to the corresponding picture remote address, the downloaded picture resource 802 is stored locally, and the corresponding relation between the remote address and the downloaded local picture file is recorded for subsequent use, so that the picture resource 802 does not need to be downloaded again in subsequent use.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the operations of traversing the picture control, uploading and deleting local picture resources, downloading remote pictures and the like are all automatically processed, manual intervention is not needed, and manpower can be saved. Second, the process is completely transparent to the developer and does not require any changes to the development process. In addition, the installation package formed by packaging the application program does not contain processed local picture resources, so that the volume of the installation package is reduced, meanwhile, the use experience is almost the same as that of the installation package generated by the original packaging mode, and the method is very suitable for scenes sensitive to the volume of the installation package.
