Reducing size of Realm database shipping with app

Question

Am making a Dictionary as my First android Project when the app is Run first time am using

RealmConfiguration config = new RealmConfiguration.Builder(this)
            .name(Realm.DEFAULT_REALM_NAME)
            .migration(new Word())
            .assetFile(this,"Default.realm")
            .schemaVersion(1)
            .build();

    realm=realm.getInstance(config);

this Code to create my Shipped in .realm File as a Default Realm DataBase But the Size of the Database is Huge after Normalizing as around 20MB Is there a better way to Ship .realm File so as to reduce it's size.
Already tried shipping as csv but taking too much time to convert to .realm

Answer 1

I am facing same issue. I have pre populated sqlite of 2.5 MB in my android asset folder but when I migrated to realm I got same data with 75MB file.

I try to reduce the size and I got a one solution. May be that help you out.

Open Realm Browser -> File -> Export -> Compacted Realm.

After that I got 3.5MB file.
