The paper presents the application of the COSMIC functional size measurement method in mobile environment. In particular, we describe how COSMIC has been applied to Android mobile applications, also through an example of measurement, and the identification of some possible recurrent patterns. Moreover, we report the results of an empirical study carried out to verify the ability of the COSMIC measure to estimate mobile applications code sizes, i.e., the amount of needed memory. The results show that in the considered domain it is possible to get early and accurate prediction of the needed memory space in bytes.
