More like a few dozen kilobytes to a handful of megabytes. If you look in F-Droid you can find some good old apps where graphics are either small or it uses the default styles for buttons and the like

Looking at a tiny utility app I made 6 years ago, it's 9KB, most of which will be the default things the compiler includes
