How can I get hold of AAssetManager?

[Vladimir Roth]

I'm trying to get file access working as my Obj-C app loads textures/shaders/sfx directly from files.

I can't seem to figure out how to get hold of AAssetManager so I can access these files on Android. I use fstream in the iOS version of the game.

 I found some threads here that are mentioning [AndroidActivity currentActivity] which will give me current activity, but I don't know how to translate that into ANativeActivity, so I can get handle to asset manager. There does not seem to be any mention of file access in the documentation either. Makes me wonder how is everyone else loading their resources??

I never developed on Android before so any feedback that will point me in the right direction is much appreciated.

Thanks,

The latest push of the SDK 1.1.02 should have the previous methods you were needing.

can you provide a usage case? because the basic usage seems to be working for me

I'm on OSX (10.8.5) and only thing that I'm setting defferently than defaults is in configuration.json file, where I have "defines": {"__APPLE__": 1}. This is because of PVRSDK files that would not compile otherwise as they're for OSX platform.

Then in the actual .cpp file I just "#include <fstream>" and that's where the compilation throws error.

And then reading the file.

std::ifstream file(fileName);

if (file.is_open())

{

char buf[1024];

file.getline(buf, sizeof(buf)); parseFontHeaderLine(buf);
