Hi, I'm quite new to Android and Java programming. I'm currently designing an app which is supposed to utilize a medium-size database (6-7MB). This database is static meaning there won't be any updates/deletes or inserts to it. It's basically a bulk of data.
I've been googling around and don't seem to find a solid way of integrating a premade DB into an app. Most guides seem to start from an empty DB which builds up as the app runs. I've only found a single solid guide on how to implement a premade database into an app and it basically causes the DB to double in size. So now I'm thinking of just loading the data completely into the memory as multiple sorted static array strings and querying those arrays through java logic. (Note that reading speed of the data is absolutely vital). But knowing that memory available to apps is limited I'm in doubt. Are there any other advantages/disadvantages to this approach? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
