app with large raw text file would not run on android phone

I have developed a word app (Hangman) for android. The app uses a raw word text file of over 100,000 words. The app runs nicely on the Android emulator on my laptop. I don't have an Android phone myself to test it but开发者_JAVA百科 my niece does. So I made the apk file and emailed to her and apparently the app would not run on her phone. I sent her again the same app again with only a few words in the text file and it ran nicely. Why do you think it would not run with the larger word file?

I've ran into this before. Some phones don't allow you to have assets larger than 1MB. I think this has something to do with compression and AssetManager. As far as I see there are two solutions.

1) Split your asset into pieces smaller than 1MB and glue them together at runtime. This is what I did since I didn't have the time for 2).

2) Figure out how to properly and portably store larger assets:)
