I am trying to get list of all raw resources or assets packaged in my APK. This is required because i have written code and i am generating APK's after changing only resources. So, I want to know how many resources exists in my APK.
But i am not able to find any API from which I can get the list of resources which are packaged in my APK.

How do I load the image dynamically through the code? If its unclear, I mean, I want to load image files by name based on the condition in the code. If I use images as resources, the image names have to be hard coded. This is unacceptable to me. If I load image in a webview (with image src path dynamically), the time it takes to load is unacceptable to me. Can anyone suggest any other way to load the images dynamically?

I am trying to move a set of images currently in the resources/drawable-hdpi folder to the Assets folder.
These images are copied to the private application directory when the app is installed.
When I do this the resulting image is smaller than when I had the image in the resources folder. i.e. the baked beans image is smaller than the others. If I load the baked beans images from the drawables folder it is the same size as the other product images.
I have tried to scale the image but it has no effect.
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
ImageView imView = (ImageView)rowView.findViewById(R.id.product_thumb nail);
ImageView imProduct = (ImageView)rowView.findViewById(R.id.product_icon) ;
tvName.setText((CharSequence) values.get(position).getName());

To give the user of my app an indication which field currently has the focus I am trying to change the background color of some of my fields depending on the current state, however, I am having troubles understanding Androids Color State List Resources:
There is this example at the bottom of http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/color-list-resource.html. If I try exactly the same, i.e. if I want to adapt the textColor , things do work. However, if I try an only slightly different thing, namely to adapt the background color, things do not work and I don't understand why? Why is this so inconsistent?
To make it simpler to understand what I am trying to do, I append my misc. .xml files:
The AndroidManifest.xml file:
CODE:.........
If I run this as shown here, it works, i.e. I get a button whose text color changes depending on whether the button is focuses, pressed, etc.
If I uncomment the lower button, where I just flipped the attribute values for textColor and background I get an exception, stating
... <item> tag requires a 'drawable' attribute or child tag defining a drawable
What the heck am I missing here? Why is that color state list acceptable as a text color but not as a background color? How does one specify a view's background color depending on the view's state?
In my Android project, I want to loop through the entire collection of Drawable resources. Normally, you can only retrieve a specific resource via its ID using something like:
InputStream is = Resources.getSystem().openRawResource(resourceId)
However, I want to get all Drawable resources where I won't know their ID's beforehand. Is there a collection I can loop through or perhaps a way to get the list of resource ID's given the resources in my project?
Or, is there a way for me in Java to extract all property values from the R.drawable static class?

In this case 'i' is -1 meaning nothing read. Why would nothing be there if the file is there, the variable 'files' has the file as well. Do I need to do anything to the file I put into the Assets folder in get it to be readable? When I use a small text file it works. When I use a 10 meg file, it does not. (The 10 meg is a Sqlite database I need to install)

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt has come to my attention that Android can only deal with asset files that are around 1M or so. My problem is that i'm creating an app that requires access to 5 csv files. The largest of the files is 130M. I want to be able to package these text files with my app. Is there anyway around this? My app needs to be able to run without Internet access so storing these files on a server is not an option.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a large (900kb) asset in the assets directory which is only used once by the app at initialization time. Is there way for me to delete this file at runtime? If not delete change it's contents to "0" and effectively reduce its size to almost nothing. There isn't really any point of having this take space on the phone's limited memory.
Is the assets folder only accessible to the app or can the user see it too? For my app I want to store a credential certificate and video files on local storage but I am not sure how to hide these items from the users. The assets folder seems like the only choice.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to install an APK from within an Android application. Can anyone give me an example of how to do this? Also how do I open the install applications from unknown resources preference page so that users can change it? I actually meant open the screen using code, so I can immediately open the preference page for the user to simply check the box, and press back. Is it possible to check to see if they allow non-market apps? Can an application request permission enough to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm loading html into a webview from my assets folder, works no problem. In my second experiment I've loaded HTML from a database (after pulling from remote source) and displayed in a webview (also no prob). Now I'm trying to change the baseref inside the html to have all JS and CSS references point to source files under assets. This part doesn't seem to work. I get warnings from the web console that it can't load these files due to security issue.
Now I've resorted back to a content provider and overriding openFile (and setting base ref with content://...) but now I'm hitting another problem with the JS and CSS files in assets being compressed. Can load html from assets but loading JS, CSS from within that HTML is another story. Before I dig deeper, am I over-complicating this?
What is the absolute path of the assets folder? I need it to reference some images saved in this folder from a html file saved in the memory device.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an Android game that has to download some assets to the SD card to keep the size of the app as small as possible. I was thinking of using an uncompressed zip file to bundle all the assets.
A requirement from the client is to protect these assets as much as possible. Being part of the apk is considered enough protection, but if I do this the apk size will be enormous. If I just put a zip bundle in the SD card, then anyone can unzip it and explore its contents.
Is there a simple way to do this without retorting to horrid DRM?
I have 5 mp3 files stored on the assets folder. The files are all 25 KB. I load the files using:
manager = context.getAssets();
this.inputStream = manager.openFd(fileName).createInputStream();
Whenever I try to play the files, the sounds are all messed up like they were mixed or something.
I've zip aligned the app already but with no results.
I have a WebView that I'm using to display some html/image files stored in the assets/ directory.
View 10 Replies View RelatedWhat I am trying to do is simply copy over entire folder full of mp3 files onto sdcard within an app. I am doing this out of "assets" folder because raw folder does not allow mp3 files to be named the way I need them to. Here is what I dug up so far but not sure if this will work. I am lost.
InputStream ins = getResources().getAssets().open(""); int size = ins.available();
// Read the entire resource into a local byte buffer. byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
ins.read(buffer); ins.close(); FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("/sdcard/myfolder/");
fos.write(buffer); fos.close();
I want to change the font in my widget such that it uses a specific font in "assets" folder of my app. I usually do this in my app to change the font:
Typeface tf= Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "advertising.ttf");
TextView converted = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView03);
converted.setTypeFace(tf);
And it works like a charm. How can I do this in widgets? I can only set the text and change the color:
remoteView.setTextViewText(R.id.TextView03,"some text" );
remoteView.setTextColor(R.id.TextView03, Color.BLACK);
But I don't see a way to set the font.
I was poking around in the documentation for the simpleCursorAdapter and I read that if the simpleCursorAdapter doesn't identify your images as resources it will assume they are URIs. My question is how do i retrieve the URI for an image placed into the asset folder of my application?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI my main app and tests are organized like this (standard from "android create project"): AndroidManifest.xml assets/ main app asset files src/tests/AndroidManifest.xml -- uses <instrumentation> to point to the main app assets/ -- test-specific asset files src/ Writing test cases with AndroidTestCase, I'd like to load asset files from the test-specific assets/ directory, not from the main app assets/ directory. How can I accomplish that? The normal way to load an asset would be getContext().getAssets().open ("foo.txt"), for assets/foo.txt in the main app. I assume I just have to somehow change the Context or the AssetManager to point to the test- specific assets directory, but I don't see any way to do that. I have looked into the tests/bin/MyApp-debug.apk to confirm that the test assets are in there. Now I just need a way to access them.
