Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. I know and have implemented the basic approach to sharing assets between separate applications. It works just fine for PNGs, XMLs etc.
However, a specific problem comes up if you want to use the AssetFileDescriptor returned by openAssetFile() as a data source for MediaPlayer. There's a speculation that it might be caused by the fact that openAssetFile() returns a (read side of a) pipe which is not seekable (contents are of unknown size), whereas MediaPlayer supposedly insists on a seekable descriptor. The idea of my post was that MediaPlayer won't play the data even if you set the correct length to the AssetFileDescriptor. Please refer to the link I mentioned in my previous post for a lot more details about the issue.
