Problem to build the apk file from eclipse

Question

I am working on project which contains large number of data in assets folder, its around 1GB .When I'm going to make the apk file from eclipse to AndroidTools>Export Sign Package it's showing me ProjectName/bin/project.apk does not exist. When I remove some data from assets and make it around 200MB then it lets me to build the apk file.

So I have to find another alternative to deal with large data to parse from server, but in the iphone it support to store such large data so I wondered if there is any trick to deal with large data in android, locally.

If android doesn't support this size then please post your opinion, should google team consider this kind of problem (in other words its about security reason ??)

Answer 1

If your aim to use a large data through application then you have two way to do that .

1: Download from server and store in your SD card .

2: You said your project is not going to upload on android market . if this would be a case then simply ask those user to save that data in some specific folder on SD card and your app will use from there .

There is no way to store 1GB data in APK file .
