This is a great article that helps http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/

1. Create the sqlite db using SQLite Database Browser and store it in your assests folder
2. When app launches, copy the db from assets to your apps data directory
3. Open the DB

This way you don't have to parse csv files or dynamically create the db on the device, saving time during first load.
