My target application is actually two apps: one on Android and the
other runs on Windows. The user runs the Windows application to convert
certain data to a database file that must be transferred in some way to
the Android device for viewing by the Android app. This is basically a
rewrite of my successful PalmOS product that "Hotsynced" the updated
database to the user's Palm PDA. My current intention is to generate a complete SQLite database on the Windows PC, but I am very unclear on how the user could get that file into the proper place on the Android device so that my Android app can open it. The database can be quite large in some cases, so maybe the SD card would be a good place to put it. 1) Can an Android app open a SQLite database that is on the SD card? 2) If so, does it have to be in an app-specific directory? 3) Is there a practical way for a user to transfer a file from their PC to a specific place on an Android device? Assuming that a database on an SD card will work, there is always the fall back of having the user remove the SD card and plug it into a slot on the PC to copy the file to it, but I'd rather come up with an easier procedure if possible. Thanks for any answers or advice on this. (Why do I always come up with a complex or unusual application for my first project on a new O/S?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
