Title: Read file error
Post by: Kyo on 2014-May-29

I use this simple code:

Code (glbasic) Select


SETCURRENTDIR("Media") // go to media files

AUTOPAUSE TRUE
SEEDRND GETTIMERALL()

	//SETSCREEN 9999,9998,FALSE
	SETSCREEN 440,700,FALSE

	int_sd$ = PLATFORMINFO$("APPDATA")
	ext_sd$ = PLATFORMINFO$("DOCUMENTS")


WHILE TRUE

	PRINT "Int_sd: " + int_sd$, 0, 10
	PRINT "Ext_sd: " + ext_sd$, 0, 20

	PRINT "Path: " + GETCURRENTDIR$(), 0, 30
	
 	PRINT "**************2", 0, 50

	OPENFILE(1,"1.txt", TRUE)
	READLINE 1, nome$
	PRINT "1 : " + nome$,0 ,70
	CLOSEFILE 1
	
	
	SHOWSCREEN
WEND

In Windows work fine but in Android Crash...
I use DOESFILEEXIST() but it tells me that the file does not exist.

I test a various option:
OPENFILE(1,"Media/1.txt", TRUE)
or
OPENFILE(1,"Media\1.txt", TRUE)

but the file not found!

I don't think this is an AE issue - Android's file system seems to be problematic with GLBasic. From my own personal experience with OUYA and GameStick (both Android deveices) AE has helped in lots of areas where GLBasic falls far short. Try compiling your GLB program for Android without AE and see if you get the same result.

In AE you need to use Android.Check_Asset("") prior to loading media using the standard LOADANIM etc. commands

Remember Android is very specific with regards to case sensitivity too, which include the format (eg .png/.PNG etc.)

SETCURRENTDIR("Media") is done automatic with AE. This is required so Android.Check_Assest() could work, so they looking in the same path. This is due SETCURRENTDIR() did not set dir in the Java part, only in c++ Part.

But you need add Android.Check_Assest(file$) before any loading commands. Its to skips the ... screen.

only fullscreen ads works, not onscreen banners. Again, see Android Sample.

PS. Can this thread moved to the glbasic en forum, this is not a faq me thinks.

You should be checking the result from OPENFILE too - as it could be failing there...

you still need a Android.Check_Asset("") if you using internal txt file. There is also Android.Android_DirCopy (here im forget to remove Android_ from the function name, if you want to copy the whole dir from the apk to the memory.

Etc glbasic can only read from the internal/sd memory, not from APK file, which is in AE not copied automatic. That hence you need those commands.

until im release a new AE, which im do in this incoming weekend, you can add this line in the public class SDLActivity extends Activity { class in SDLActivity.java, just before // >>>>>>>> END ANDROID EXTRAS <<<<<<<< line (around line 414):

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

this keep the screen on.
