Load template in Android app

[Johan Nordberg]

I'm having trouble loading templates in my Android app. Right now I have added the template files in the res/raw folder. They cannot be found, so I have loaded the resource as a stream and complied the template using the stream. This works, but it can't find any partial templates. I tried compiling the used templates in the same factory, but that did not work either.

Where in the project structure am I supposed to store the templates?

Do I need to do anything special to load partial templates?

Here's an example of how I load templates now, which work for the base template, but not for partials.

Mustache getMessageTemplate() {
    MustacheFactory factory = new DefaultMustacheFactory();
    Mustache post = factory.compile(new InputStreamReader(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.post)), "post");

    factory.compile(new InputStreamReader(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.message)), "message");
    factory.compile(new InputStreamReader(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.alarm)), "alarm");
    factory.compile(new InputStreamReader(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.groupapplicant)), "groupapplicant");
    factory.compile(new InputStreamReader(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.comment)), "comment");

    return post;
}

I ended up with creating a custom resolver, like this:

public class RawResourceMustacheResolver implements MustacheResolver {
    private Context context;
    private String packageName;

    public RawResourceMustacheResolver(Context context, String packageName) {
        this.context = context;
        this.packageName = packageName;
    }

    @Override
    public Reader getReader(String resourceName) {
        int resourceId = context.getResources().getIdentifier(resourceName, "raw", packageName);

        return new InputStreamReader(context.getResources().openRawResource(resourceId));
    }

}

Interesting. I assume that this is Android specific? Maybe I can make an Android module with this.
