I have only been able to find solutions dated 2010 and earlier. So I wanted to see if there was a more up-to-date stance on this.
I'd like to avoid using Java and purely use C++, to access files (some less-or-more than 1MB) stored away in the APK. Using AssetManager
means I can't access files like every other file on every other operating system (including iOS).
If not, is there a method in C++ where I could somehow map fopen/fread to the AssetManager APIs?
I actually found pretty elegant answer to the problem and blogged about it here.
The summary is:
My blog has a full write up and all the code you need to implement in pure C. I use this to build lua and libogg for Android.
