I think I may know the answer to this question already, but I just wanna be 100% sure. Anyways, I am writing an Android app using Eclipse 4.2 (“Juno”). I want to create my SQLite database by using external files and reading/parsing these files by my code. Hence, I created my own directory called /database and placed it in my project’s root directory. Then, Eclipse starts complaining, reports a problem and says:
Invalid recourse directory name.
I even tried placing my database directory in the existing /res directory, but that caused the same Eclipse problem. Just want to confirm what my initial thoughts are: Is it not allowed for me to define my own directories in the project and bundle it in with my release?
If so, then I guess I’ll have to follow along with what was posted in this stackoverflow question.
put it in /assets not in /res and it should work.
