Why can't we read an sqlite file from /raw or /assets?
<p>I have an sqlite database I want to distribute with my application. It's about 3mb. If I understand correctly, I can't directly open it if it resides in my app's /raw or /assets folder, right? We need to first copy it out of that directly as in:</p>

<p>So my app will consume twice the disk space as it normally would? I don't understand why it's necessary to have the database file be in a particular folder?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
