Hi everyone,

I am tired... I have problems with extractzip and opentoread after build my apk for android.

My apk file has a zip file (images) and txt files with the stage of my game in folder assets/media. If i install my apk in my phone the application is closed...

I have tried this simple example and the aplication is closed:



If I use AppGameKit player (my current version is 1.08 beta8), i don't have any problem, but with my apk, the app is closed. If I write a file and then I read this file, the apk works fine.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks

I get it! The problem is in readbyte command (i suppose that extractzip works with readbyte). These commands only works from the write/reading folder of the user (at least on Android 4.1). I have not got read a byte or extract the zip from reading folder...

My solution is:

1. copy the file in write/reading folder using readstring (readstring and readinteger work fine in both folders)

2. read byte to byte / extract the zip

Greetings!

The .apk file is already a compressed file, so perhaps the question to ask is do you need them in a zip within a zip?

Rather than extract the images, why not just read them from the apk?

The same goes for iOS apps, the data is compressed and not visible as a file by file thing.

The only reason you might want a zip file is in a Windows environment.

No question is ever stupid. Because if it is one you need to ask, then it is something you need to know, regardless of whether other people already know.

Sometimes the obvious stuff isn't obvious until it gets pointed out. No one can be expected to know or see everything that is going on.
