I performed the complete import which took just over one hour on the Hero. Final db size (no indexes) was 24MB and zips to 11MB.
I had to build the db in the default location (i.e. not on the sdcard) because it was much much faster. Once the import was finished, I simply copied the db over to the sdcard. So this db zip file would be downloaded when a user first runs the app. The db file would be automatically uncompressed and the indexes built. How does this sound? I would still like to try out an alternative to using SQLite, as Dianne suggested. Can anyone give me any pointers, please? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
