Move App Data files to SDCard

I have an app which contain some images in res/drawable/ and shows them in grid view.

I added some of my holiday pics to it so the size of my app increased to about 70MB and bcoz its just a simple app, all of it get stored in the Phone memory and i want to change that.

So my problem is: How to make the app, so that after installing when i click "Move to SDCard" options, all the pics get stored on SDCard, and then are viewed in the app from there instead from phone memory.
