Question

I have to distribute large content to be consumed by my application. The data size can be upto a few gbs. What is the best way the data can be sent out?. The solution has to be efficient and cost effective. I ve thought about giving out sd cards (bad solution, since most devices have just one slot and nobody will use it solely for the apps purpose), downloadable from the internet (nobody will download gb’s worth data from the internet),package it with the app(Not possible to upload the app to the market)

Answer 1

Is all of the information needed from the very beginning of the app? Maybe you can incrementally download it in the background and prioritize the data. You can set it so that it only downloads on wifi as well of give an option for it.
