What is a maximum size of SQLite database on Android?

Question

I have a SQLite db that size is over 2.6 GiB. (The db contains maps.) This db is used by RMaps app. When move the maps to some parts at maximum zoom, the app suddenly closes

Answer 1

I suspect it is ~2 gigabytes (that might be due to 32-bit architecture, although certain programs come with largefile support, allowing more that that). Fortunately android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase has following API call that returns the maximum size the database may grow to:

long getMaximumSize()

Eventually you might want to look into database sharding ;)
