You might try: -- Splitting the file into pieces in /assets, reassembling them as part of your copy operation -- Try using a raw resource rather than an asset, in case that makes a difference -- Try copying to on-board flash (/data/data/your.package.here/databases) instead of the SD card, in case that makes a difference > I don't want to upload the file anywhere as I can't deal with all the > extra bandwidth used. http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net $1/GB. A 3.5MB database costs about a third of a penny per download, and it's pay as you go, so there's no monthly minimums or anything. Amazon S3 or other services may be cheaper still. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, $35/Year --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
