The only upper limit is the amount of storage space available, and the amount of temporary RAM needed for whatever queries you are doing.

Dianne I have a related question.. How do figure out the upper limit of the sqlite database size an app can use?

[android-developers] Re: Application (.apk) Size
"It wil be smaller than the heap size limit per apps" Not true. :=) I could imagine creating an app of 50MBytes. 2MBytes worth of code and 48MBytes worth of resources (images/assets/etc.). And if these resources are not loaded all at once, it should work. Of course, who would download such a big app to his/her phone..?

[android-developers] Re: Application (.apk) Size
The Java heap is limited to 16MB, but that is just the heap, so I don't believe code is included. The basic answer is: keep your app as small as possible. A little more detail: the G1 has ~75MB of storage for both apps and data, so if your app is 1MB it is using 7.5% of that storage which is getting quite noticeable. Also the code needs to be copied out during the dexopt phase, so if your size is significantly related to code than that total space needed is likewise increased. At that point, it's just a matter for you to decide how much space your application can take before your users won't think it is worth keeping on their phone.

It wil be smaller than the heap size limit per apps..so if that is 10 megs than assume 4 to 5 megs? On Jun 19, 8:35 am, indodroid wrote: > I also had the same query.

[android-developers] Re: Application (.apk) Size
I also had the same query. What is a reasonable footprint of an android application (static footprint)...and what is the maximum runtime footprint that is acceptable ? Regards indodroid.
