Load files bigger than 1M from assets folder

Faced the same issue. I’ve cut up my 4MB file into 1 MB chunks, and on the first run I join the chunks into a data folder on the phone. As an added bonus, the APK is properly compressed. The chunk files are called 1.db, 2.db, etc. The code goes like this:

File Path = Ctxt.getDir("Data", 0);
File DBFile = new File(Path, "database.db");

if(!DBFile.exists() || DatabaseNeedsUpgrade)  //Need to copy...
    CopyDatabase(Ctxt, DBFile);


static private void CopyDatabase(Context Ctxt, File DBFile) throws IOException
{
    AssetManager assets = Ctxt.getAssets();
    OutputStream outstream = new FileOutputStream(DBFile);
    DBFile.createNewFile();
    byte []b = new byte[1024];
    int i, r;
    String []assetfiles = assets.list("");
    Arrays.sort(assetfiles);
    for(i=1;i<10;i++) //I have definitely less than 10 files; you might have more
    {
        String partname = String.format("%d.db", i);
        if(Arrays.binarySearch(assetfiles, partname) < 0) //No such file in assets - time to quit the loop
            break;
        InputStream instream = assets.open(partname);
        while((r = instream.read(b)) != -1)
            outstream.write(b, 0, r);
        instream.close();
    }
    outstream.close();
}
