database - How to read/convert DBF files so they can be used in Android? -


i have old dbase ii database file consists of around 70.000 rows 8 columns per row. comes down around 10 mb of data, nothing out of world. data ever read file, never added to, or updated. question is:

what best approach utilize data in android platform (in optimal way possible)? should convert sql , import sqlite on device, or there other (better) alternatives?

what performance of device? should data queried "continuously" (short intervals)? consume lot of resources?

old? had hair when used dbase iii, , i'm not old have used dbase ii. use "prehistoric" adjective, "old" not justice. :-)

no, bit on large side see in mobile realm today.

well, i'd use sqlite, can load relevant subsets. however, since data static, can conversion on development machine. then, can use sqliteassethelper package data app, or download database known url on first run of app if prefer. avoids having conversion on slow, memory-constrained, battery-powered device.

what performance of device should data queried "continuously" (short intervals)? consume lot of resources?

yes, doing lots of disk i/o consume battery. try cache data possible. particularly since data unchanging, implementing cache algorithms should straightforward.
