1.zipalign 简介
zipalign is an archive alignment tool that provides important optimization to Android application (.apk) files. The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file. Specifically, it causes all uncompressed data within the .apk, such as images or raw files, to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries. This allows all portions to be accessed directly with mmap() even if they contain binary data with alignment restrictions. The benefit is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.
google play不支持没用它的apk上线
当系统启动一个应用时，如果它的apk是内存4字节对齐的，它可以直接通过mmap()函数访问资源和数据，比不对齐的快。zipalign 就是优化apk，让其按4字节对齐的工具。
This tool should always be used to align your .apk file before distributing it to end-users. The Android build tools can handle this for you. Android Studio automatically aligns your .apk after it signs it with your private key. The build scripts used when compiling your application with Gradle also align your .apk, as long as you have provided the path to your keystore and the key alias in your project gradle.properties file, so that the build tools can sign the package first.
Caution: zipalign must only be performed after the .apk file has been signed with your private key. If you perform zipalign before signing, then the signing procedure will undo the alignment. Also, do not make alterations to the aligned package. Alterations to the archive, such as renaming or deleting entries, will potentially disrupt the alignment of the modified entry and all later entries. And any files added to an "aligned" archive will not be aligned.
本工具应该用在用私钥签名之后使用，否则无效。一但用zipalign优化后，就不要改变，否则会导致对齐失效。
The adjustment is made by altering the size of the "extra" field in the zip Local File Header sections. Existing data in the "extra" fields may be altered by this process.
工具是通过修改zip文件的header section 中的extra属性来实现对齐的。

android-sdks/build-tools/xx xx为版本号，每个目录下都有。
3.Usage 示例
To align infile.apk and save it as outfile.apk: 对已存在的apk进行对齐优化。
$zipalign [-f] [-v] <alignment> infile.apk outfile.apk
To confirm the alignment of existing.apk: 对已经存在的apk进程对齐优化检测，验证。注意-c参数。
$zipalign -c -v <alignment> existing.apk
The <alignment> is an integer that defines the byte-alignment boundaries. This must always be 4 (which provides 32-bit alignment) or else it effectively does nothing.
<alignment>通常值为4.
Flags:
zipalign 各参数的含义：
-
-f: overwrite existing outfile.zip -
-v: verbose output -
-c: confirm the alignment of the given file
如：
$~/Android/android-sdks/build-tools/23.0.2/zipalign -f -v 4 app-debug.apk app-zipaligned.apk
$~/Android/android-sdks/build-tools/23.0.2/zipalign -c -v 4 app-zipaligned.apk
在终端下输出如下：
