[android-developers] Re: openRawResource: does compressed files in APK get uncompressed completely?

If you name the file .mp3, it won't use compression at all.

Hello,

I have a custom file format in res/raw, which means it will get
compressed in APK.

Question:

Assume my application is installed on the device. When I open a file
via openRawResource(), does it completely uncompress the file in the
memory?

E.g. if it's a 3MB file, will it uncompress it in memory? If I only
need 10KB data from a certain offset (and I reach it via
BufferedInputStream.skip), will it still consume 3MB when
openRawResource() is called?
