I'm reading this restriction on where SQLite databases should reside on Android.
All databases, SQLite and others, are stored on the device in /data/ data/<package_name>/databases. While this may be appropriate for small databases that begin and end within an application's space with a few contacts, this seems rather restrictive for a large multimedia database that may be used on other platforms, including Windows, and then transferred to a phone. In particular, you apparently can't put a database file on a storage card - which I know end users will want to do. If this restriction is firm 1. How big can a file get in this location? I'll guess this is OEM dependent, but, for example, the Verizon Droid is advertising 16GB preinstalled memory. How much of this would be accessible to databases? Anything that hasn't been used by the file system yet? 2. Is /data/data/<package_name>/databases a user accessible location that end users will be able to browse to and place files in?
