Thanks guys for opinion. I'm already working on SQL based version of
the application.

True enough, and if you are only reading, atomicity doesn't matter.
But if you want to record answers?
Files are well suited to either read-only uses. But once you start
writing, you have the potential for partial updates unless you use a
rename or delete to mark the end of the update. Which is
I would go with storing your questions in raw XML file (asset) and
parsing it on the fly. This way, you can easily change it and
(perhaps) later extend your aplication to communicate with web service
that has questions. IMHO using database for this is a bit wasty.

I agree.
My experience with this sort of thing is that frequently, if you don't
start out with a SQL database, you ultimately end up having to convert
it later. So often it's better to start there.
Here's why. Using a database scales better. If you end up with a large
quiz, you'll have to load
For just 500 items, if random access is required I'd go with SQL,
assuming the text length for a single item isn't more than a few
hundred bytes. You do have the problem of loading up the DB, though.
For a really large list I might spend some time designing the
preprocessing logic to build
Further, while with some careful attention to detail, you can get
reliable operation with files, even if the device is turned off at a
bad moment -- too often people don't manage to get it right. (Key idea
- the only atomic filesystem operations are rename and delete).
Seems to me that opening a
Hi,
Put your all questions in SQLiteDatabase.
Then, load the necessary ones when required in the application.
Storing and loading from file will not be very useful. Database will
help you organize the questions better and also to retrieve the
required ones smartly.
