Hello Pabitra, Thanks for share. Really good tutorial 🙂
well that android one it will reduce texture(quality) if we reduce the size manually . So i think thats not the perfect way to do it .
i have an another idea why dont we take that optimal file which we have to send ( no matter whether its more than 16 or 16+ ) take the file download es file explorer .
1) zip the file
2) in three or two parts
3) and then send it to the user .
note:- he/she should have the es file explorer too , to unzip it .
.-. this is the only way i think we can do ^_^
