File.Copy Limitation?

[alfcen]

Hi,
I'm trying to copy a 10.4MB database from Assets to the external card:
File.Copy(File.DirAssets,"starref.db",File.DirRootExternal,"starref.db")

and persistantly get the error set forth below.

Is the file too large for File.Copy?

Hi Robert,

Hope that you and family are fine, after everything that happened in Japan this year.

I think you will find the answer in post 7 of this topic: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-updates-questions/8845-sqlite-databases-behaviors.html#post49226

Success and best regards,
Helen.
