Answer 1

Insert all line in one string:

public int insertFromFile(Context context, int resourceId) throws IOException {
    // Reseting Counter
    int result = 0;

// Open the resource
InputStream insertsStream = context.getResources().openRawResource(resourceId);
BufferedReader insertReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(insertsStream));

// Iterate through lines (assuming each insert has its own line and theres no other stuff)
String insertStmt = "";
while (insertReader.ready()) {
    insertStmt += insertReader.readLine();
    result++;
}
insertReader.close();

db.execSQL(insertStmt);

// returning number of inserted rows
return result;
}
