I would like to store a large Byte[] in my SQLite database.
Android has a limit to how much RAM each app can use, so I figured the best way to skirt around this limitation is to write the file in smaller chunks.
Is it possible to use a stream to access my file, and append to my database Byte[] in small pieces? (without loading the Byte[] into memory to append)
Store the data in files in your app/sdcard and keep a reference in SQLite – you cannot append to BLOBs in SQLite (at least without pre-allocating the size with zeroblob() and using the NDK) – besides – how would you read it back? The only API made available in the SDK will attempt to read the entire BLOB back as a
byte[].Typically you want to implement
ContentProvider#openFile(..)properly.
