Re: [android-developers] Adding a required file, external to the app, to the Google Store ???
I have asked my programmer if he can help. In the meantime,any know if you try to attach a second file to the Store site, if it will be accepted or crash it ? The smallest database I can create is 170kb. I'd rather ask for permission, that get in trouble for not asking, and causing problems. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Adding a required file, external to the app, to the Google Store ???
I apologise if I was not clear. Since I personally do not have the ability to write code for Android, I only hired someone to write what I wanted. I would like to know if I add a separate file to my app posting on the App Store site, will it be accepted, rejected, or cause nastiness like a crash. I think it useful to ask before doing something like this. The separate file will be a small database that the search-engine app needs to do anything useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I think it useful to ask before doing something like this. The separate file will be a small database that the search-engine app needs to do anything useful. Maybe you should get your engineer to post here instead? There are different ways to bundle a file with your app, but all of them require some code modification to the app. You can't just upload a file and hope that the app will pick it app. The Play Store does have the ability to distribute expansion files, but for a few hundred kilobytes it will be easier to bundle the file in the app as an asset or raw resource. Either way, you need to get your programmer to update the app and possibly work on the UI to guide people through the database download/update process.

Why not just include this sample database with the app itself? It could be as small as 400kb. I would name the database something to indicate the date/contents, to help them understand they can get more, they just have to read the instructions. Don't you clearly explain in the UI what they need to do? That is, if you don't detect any databases, present an explanation with a link to get these databases? - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
