Some android applications/games are huge like 2 GB or more... If downloaded from Play Store the application/game installs easily on its own but if you have downloaded the data from any other source (which is illegal) then you have to do a little working before enjoying the app/game.
Whenever you download a huge game/app it must be in a .zip file containing both the .apk and a folder named like 'com.xyx....', in the 'com.xyx' folder you would see an .obb file which is Opaque binary blob file,a term used in network engineering and computer science to refer to a sizeable piece of data, which looks like binary garbage from outside, by entities which do not know what that blob denotes or carries, but make sense to entities which have access permission and access functions to them. It is also a pejorative term for compiled code without the source code made available.
Its the body of the game/app like in PC's we have C:/ProgramFiles/XYZ and the accessible data is stored there.Similarly in Android devices the obb file is the database of huge applications/games.
Now the TOPIC was where to put the .obb file so that the app/game would run easily.
The destination folder of storing the.obb file is
sdcard/Android/obb
Copy the folder containing the .obb file and paste it in the above listed directory (sdcard/Android/obb),if their isn't one create a folder,name it obb and then put the files in it.
Example :
i download android game called 'hello' from the internet
it gets downloaded as hello.zip
after extracting hello.zip,i get two files an .apk and a 'com.hello..' folder which contains the .obb file.
First of all i copy the 'com.hello...' folder and paste it in sdcard/Android/obb
Then i install the .apk
Thats it PROCEDURE COMPLETE :)
