What is Android Unused Resource Cleanup?
The Android Unused Resource Cleanup is a sophisticated utility designed to keep Android projects lean and maintainable. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, it analyzes Git modifications to pinpoint resources—such as drawables, layouts, colors, and strings—that have become orphaned due to recent refactoring or code deletions.
Unlike generic cleanup tools, this skill focuses on the delta of your changes, allowing for targeted maintenance during the development workflow. It ensures that your APK or AAB size remains optimized by suggesting the safe removal of assets that are no longer reached by Java, Kotlin, or XML code.
Android Unused Resource Cleanup Use Cases
- Removing old background images, colors, or strings after a UI refresh.
- Cleaning up legacy layout files left behind after a major screen refactor.
- Identifying orphaned resource files following a large-scale naming convention adjustment.
- Batch processing project maintenance to reduce technical debt and repository bloat.
How Android Unused Resource Cleanup Works
- The skill executes a Git diff to capture changes in the staged area, workspace, or specific historical commits.
- It parses the diff to identify resource references that were removed and new ones that were added.
- For every potentially 'orphaned' resource, the script performs a comprehensive project-wide search to check for existing references.
- Resources with zero remaining references in the codebase are flagged as safe to delete.
- A detailed report is generated, providing the exact file paths and suggested shell commands for cleanup.
Android Unused Resource Cleanup Setup
To use this tool within your Openclaw Skills environment, run the script via Python pointing to your desired Git source:
# Analyze staged changes (after git add)
python .agents/skills/android-unused-resource-cleanup/scripts/cleanup_unused_resources.py --source staged
# Analyze unstaged changes in the working directory
python .agents/skills/android-unused-resource-cleanup/scripts/cleanup_unused_resources.py --source unstaged
# Analyze the most recent commit
python .agents/skills/android-unused-resource-cleanup/scripts/cleanup_unused_resources.py --source HEAD~1
Android Unused Resource Cleanup Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill analyzes various Android resource types across the project structure:
| Resource Type | Reference Pattern | File Location |
|---|---|---|
| drawable / mipmap | R.drawable.name, @drawable/name |
res/drawable*/, res/mipmap*/ |
| layout | R.layout.name |
res/layout/ |
| string / color / dimen | R.type.name, @type/name |
res/values/ |
| style / anim / font | @type/name |
res/values/, res/anim/, res/font/ |
| raw | R.raw.name |
res/raw/ |
Android Unused Resource Cleanup Advanced Features
- Multi-source Git analysis supporting staged, unstaged, and specific commit hashes.
- Intelligent cross-reference detection between XML layouts and source code (Java/Kotlin).
- Detailed reporting mode that distinguishes between 'Safe to Delete' and 'Still in Use' (with usage locations).
- Automated generation of deletion commands for rapid terminal execution.
- Support for a wide array of Android resource buckets including animations, fonts, and raw assets.
