But be wary of the 1MB "gotcha" -- if the file is over 1MB you need to name it ".jpg" or some such to prevent compression.

I've read about prepopulting the database and looked good to me but I got worried about database upgrades...

[android-developers] Re: SQLite setup
Creating 400 reconds should take no more than a few seconds if you bracket using transactions. It won't overload the system by any stretch of the imagination. Whether to go with the asset or create the database "on-the-fly" should depend on your app, but either way is fine.

[android-developers] Re: SQLite setup
Put your pre-created and pre-populated database in assets. Then, copy to proper place in the first run (or when the db is not found where it was supposed to be copied. This link helped me: http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/ There are other examples available, try googling.
