Hi all,

What will be the best storage choice for an application with huge
amount of mb in media? The application will not be in android market.

First choice was to use assets/ folder. At least, 160MB of audio is
shipped with the application. When I moved all the media to the
assets/ folder, I end up with:

"Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: null"

And reading: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2328
suggest me that maybe it's not such a good idea to ship all the media
in an .apk file. I think that the problem has nothing to do with large
.java files, as it arises when I copy the bunch of audio to assets/.

I was thinking in using the sd card storage. But, I don't want the
user to accidentally remove the media files. I want it to be private,
not accesible to possible deletions. So, another approach is to use
the private storage and download the media in the application first
run, or something like that.

What would you suggest in such case? I have little experience in
android development yet, and I'm trying to take the pros and cons
about it, for then make the best choice.

Best regards
