The SDK is separated into modules with the following structure. Each box represents a module with an estimated size when included into an app (when included using proguard and supporting a single language).
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| Facebook-android-sdk : 399.09 kb |
| |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +-----------+ +----------+
| | | | | | | | | |

| Facebook | | Facebook | | Facebook | | Facebook | | Facebook |
| -Login : | | -Share : | | -Places :| |-Messenger:| |-Applinks:|
| | | | | | | | | |
| 304.06 kb| | 310.94 kb| | 76.48 kb | | 114.26 kb | | 89.73 kb |

+-----------------------+ +----------+ +-----------+ +----------+
+---------------------------------------------------------------+

| Facebook-Core : 75.12 kb |

+---------------------------------------------------------------+
Example: Including the Facebook-Login module (which depends on Facebook-Common and Facebook-Core) would increase your app's size by an estimated 276.94 kb and including just Facebook-Core would only increase your size by 52.61 kb.
Facebook SDKs are broken up into separate modules as shown above. To ensure the most optimized use of space only install the modules that you intend to use. To get started, see the Installation section below.
Facebook SDKs are published to Maven as independent modules. To utilize a feature listed above
