[android-developers] Re: Including extra sqlite databases?

Hi Mark,

Yeah I think I need to write it to a local file, SQLiteDatabase has
constructors which only read from a file path, or File instance.

I'm wondering though if I can stick it in res/raw and read it straight
from there. Some examples like:

I've added the sqlite file to my raw folder, it appears in my .R file,
however eclipse intellisense cannot resolve it when I type
R.raw.mydatabase - odd -

Thanks
