Hi Mark

howdy, Prasanna!

how can I help you today?

I am creating an application that will have a large database from the start. How can I include this database so that I can ship the application with this database preinstalled?

how large is lage?

er, how large is large?

i do not know an exact size for now, but at least in the initial version, let's say it going to have a few tables that will have about a 1000 rows each

oh, OK, that's not too bad

in that case, I recommend SQLiteAssetHelper

there's coverage of it in _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_

Web site for the library is: https://github.com/jgilfelt/android-sqlite…

Thans Mark I will look into this in the _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_

Thanks for your help Mark, heading out now and talk soon.

OK, have a nice day!

Have a great rest of the day!
