Thanks for the replies....

I am planning of implementing of downloading the assets or media files
to SDCard after the application is installed. Just wanted to know.
Does Android market provide any provision to link the assets to apk
files. I mean when the apk gets installed the assets also should get
downloaded. I saw some examples where the users has to launch the app.
Then on first launch the app starts downloading the assets. If this is
done then user will see two download pages, first for downloading the
app and second for downloading the assets before starting of app. Is
there any way, that when user does apk download, the assets also gets
downloaded simultaneously. And before starting of application He
doesn't know that he has downloaded from two places....
