My method to convert CSV to SQLite is taking a long time

My app has over 10,000 rows of data that it needs to reference. I've stored them in a CSV file, which I use to populate a SQLite database table. It works great, except it takes over 2 minutes to import. Could someone look at this code and possible suggest a quicker method?

By the way, I'm deploying with a CSV instead of a pre-compiled database file because I've read that SQLite files are not compatible across all devices and Android versions.

In my Main Activity, I call

CSVReader csvReader = null;

        System.out.println(" exists is... " + input.toString());
        try {
            csvReader = new CSVReader(new InputStreamReader(input));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        DBAdapter db = new DBAdapter(context);

        db.open();
        db.restoreDBFromCSVReader(csvReader);
        db.close();
        ...

Here is the restoreDBFromCSVReader() method in my DBAdapter class.

public boolean restoreDBFromCSVReader(CSVReader reader){
    ContentValues vals = new ContentValues();

    long success = 1;
    int j;
    int colNum;
    String[] line;
    String table = TABLE_CLUE;
    String[] headers;
    String[] nextLine;
    try {
        headers = reader.readNext(); // headers are the first line
        while ((nextLine = reader.readNext()) != null) { // get rows until end of table
            colNum = headers.length;

            for (j = 0; j < colNum; j++) { // contentValues for this row
                try {
                    if (!headers[j].equals(KEY_ID)) {//don't insert for _id
                        vals.put(headers[j], nextLine[j]);
                    }
                } catch (Exception e) {                    
                    return false;
                }
            }
            success = db.insert(table, null, vals);
            if (success < 0) {
                return false;
            }
            vals.clear();
        }
    } catch (IOException ioex){
        ioex.printStackTrace();
    }

    if(success < 0)
        return false;
    return true;
}
