Hey, I wanted to say thanks for the information. Let me ask one more thing: I have a large amount of data that I want to use in conjunction with my app. In my mind it seems more efficient to use a db to store this data, but packing the db in android seems..odd. I think it might be easier to pack the db using a better tool, then just access the pre-packed db in the app.
Any thoughts on this? Thanks again.
