I want to include data file into package (i'm using androidlcl as
project template ). Where do i have to put it in project folder so
build_debug_apk  automatically include it in the package.

I think that you should put it in the android/res/raw directory
(create it if necessary). Then it will put it somewhere in the data
directory of the package once installed, not sure where as I never
used this myself.

I put bin.data into android\raw\lib\armeabi\lib_my_file_name.so
On device it's copied to
/data/data/com.pascal.lcltest/lib/lib_my_file_name.so (if you don't
change the package name)

You should create a new directory "android/assets",then put all data
in the directory and edit the build_debug_apk.bat ,find this line:
call aapt p -v -f -M AndroidManifest.xml -F bin\%APP_NAME%.ap_ -I
%APK_SDK_PLATFORM%\android.jar -S res -m -J gen raw

change to:
call aapt p -v -f -M AndroidManifest.xml -F bin\%APP_NAME%.ap_ -I
%APK_SDK_PLATFORM%\android.jar -S res -m -J gen raw -A assets

Thanks and regards!

Thanks truetom. For assets as I remember there exist some file size
limitations (may be, I am wrong)
