Managing big amount of data (around 400Mb)
<p>I am thinking about developing a birds catalog for Android.
It will contain many pictures and audio files, around 400Mb.</p>

<p>I am starting in this world but after some reading I didn't find too much info about such kind of applications. I have following questions:</p>

<p>1.- What kind of options do I have for installation? 400Mb downloaded from Android Market? Minimal installation from Android Market and in the first execution connect to a second server to download all the data? Other options?</p>

<p>2.- Which is the best way to store such amount of data? File system in the SD Card? SQLite DB?</p>

<p>3.- Is there any way to specify in the manifest file, the minimum file system space required to avoid failure installations (imagine you pay for the app, and the app doesn't install because there is no enough space)?</p>

<p>Any tip or pointer to documentation about this kind of applications will be appreciate.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,</p>

<p>Chemi.</p>
