I want to develop an Android app with my favorites videos and songs included for offline use. My interest is to keep the android app size smaller. But for now, I just know how to include videos and music on the raw folder. This way dramatically increases the app's size. Another solution found is APK Expansion File but I can't figure out how to create this file for offline instalation.
If you can provide some insights, I will appretiate it.

The app shouldn't contain the songs itself, the user should get them from a source and store them in the app's folder. – napkinsterror Nov 12 '15 at 23:46

App with the songs 'itself' is a requirement. The only source will be the app. – Roberto Tellez Ibarra Nov 12 '15 at 23:48

2If you want your app to store large files locally, I'm not sure how you expect to keep the size down. – RussHWolf Nov 12 '15 at 23:54

Why don't you store those file online and download them to local in the first use? It is simple without creating any expansion or put them in app folder. – T D Nguyen Nov 13 '15 at 02:45
