title: Separating images from the apk file in android
body: <p>I am writing an android application which has a lot of images in it.</p>
  
  <p>I do not want to keep these images as a part of my apk file because that will make the size of the apk file very huge.
  I have written the application in a way that it loads these images at runtime from the sdcard from some predefined location. Now my problem is that how do i provide these images to the user who wants to install my application. Since the images are not a part of the project (i.e. not present in any of the drawable folders) so they will not be a part of the APK file that i provide. </p>
  
  <p>Is it even possible to do such a thing in Android? Or can someone suggest a better solution that i have right now. Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
