How to break the file number [64K] limit when building an apk?

Question

There are over 64K files in the assets folder in my Android Project, which caused IllegalArgumentException: Value(66049) > 0x0000ffff

It's no doubt that there is not only a limit of method number [famous 64K limit] but also a limit of files number.

And I cannot find any solution about the later problem, anyone who could provide some relative message would be greatly helpful!!!

[Solved, Maybe]

Reason: Android apk format limit total entry count to 2-byte. In short, zip format limit only zip64 can solve as [answer] says. Android Source Code is clear
Solution: reduce total count in a apk file. As @egoldx and @Vladyslav Matviienko say, zipping some similar resources into groups.[see comments]

Thats a lot of asset files. Do you really need all of them? Cant you fetch some of them from server?. You can try to zip them and unzip them on application startup — egoldx, Apr 11 '19 at 07:25
I tried to set multiDexEnabled true but get the same error. It's not method number limit but file number limit problem. And I'm trying set those files into RAW folder. Zip may help but I still want to know the fact about the limit.Thank you a lot! — remark, Apr 11 '19 at 07:37
you may want to split them into groups, and add the groups to archive files (zip files), and unzip them into your app's data directory, and use them from there instead of assets — Vladyslav Matviienko, Apr 11 '19 at 07:44
set in RAW folder also has a number limit with a sweet output error `num_total_entries <= std::numeric_limits::max() ` — remark, Apr 11 '19 at 10:01
The solution that _zipping some similar resources into groups to reduce total entries count_ is **available**, provided by @egoldx and @(Vladyslav Matviienko). — remark, Apr 11 '19 at 12:09

I am not sure if this is a limit by older ZIP file format, that there is only 65535 entries available.

Reference from WinZip KB:

These older WinZip versions were also limited as to the number of files and folders that could be zipped. The upper number limit was 65,535. This number limit, as well as the size limits above, are both part of the original Zip file format.

Reference from Wikipedia: ZIP file format:

The original .ZIP format had a 4 GiB (2³² bytes) limit on various things (uncompressed size of a file, compressed size of a file, and total size of the archive), as well as a limit of 65,535 (2¹⁶) entries in a ZIP archive.

See Zip files with Java: Is there a limit? for some details.

You are right as apk is a kind of zip format thus some limits exit.Android zip limits total records/entries number to 2-byte `(2^8)^2-1=65535` — remark, Apr 11 '19 at 11:41

As @Lakhwinder Singh said, you enable multidex in your Gradle, this has been made to handle this exact situation.

This is the standard way to enable multidex

 android {
        defaultConfig {
            ...
            minSdkVersion 15 
            targetSdkVersion 28
            multiDexEnabled true
        }
        ...
    }

    dependencies {
      compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
    }

Check the link if you have any doubt.

No, both that comment and your answer are saying the **method** limit, not the **file** limit. – Geno Chen Apr 11 '19 at 07:43

multidex has nothing to do with 64k **files** limit, i'm sure – Vladyslav Matviienko Apr 11 '19 at 07:43

How to break the file number [64K] limit when building an apk?
