I'd like something easier than that. Any ideas?
I've seen several dictionary apps that include the data in an app that you download separately. When you download the data app, all it does is copies the data to SD and then puts up a message saying you can remove the app. The process does involve a little extra work from the user the first time they use your app so it's not perfect, but I've never been bothered by it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
