Hello to all, im a beginner in android app development..
I just want to know if there's a way in order to separate the resources(i.e. pictures) from the apk file because it makes the apk file so big in size (already around 20mb). And also since some android phones has a limited internal memory, is it possible that i manually copy the pictures to be used in the application into the SD card and from there to be fetch by the program?

Thanks in advance for the clear explanation..

You can always create zip file, download it when dedicated directory not existent on phone system. You should also look up some image loader library like Novoda ImageLoader to help you with image fetching from resources
