Asset Directory SubFolders-How?

JohnK · Feb 26, 2012

Hi,

I read in these forums its all possible, but I just can not seem to get it to work :BangHead:

Attached is a project with the different attempts, all failing. What am I doing wrong?

B4X:

   Dim M As Map
   M = File.ReadMap(File.DirAssets, "TestSub/test.map")
   'M = File.ReadMap(File.DirAssets, "/TestSub/test.map")
   'M = File.ReadMap(File.DirAssets & "/TestSub", "test.map")
   'M = File.ReadMap(File.DirAssets & "/TestSub/", "test.map")
   'M = File.ReadMap(File.DirAssets & "TestSub/", "test.map")
   Msgbox(M.GetKeyAt(0), M.GetValueAt(0))

This is easy. It works if you rename the dir under Files to "testsub".

ALWAYS use lowercase names for directories and files names.

ARRGGGGGhhhhhh!

I tried this, and it still fails! :BangHead:

I also tried "Clean Project" after the attached version, to no avail.

You should use File - Export as zip when uploading your project (or at least remove the compiled objects).

@JohnK The example attached works for me. Really, you only need to lowercase the filename, not necessarily the reference to that filename.

@Erel The problem of exporting as zip is that it doesn't include the files under Files that are not added to the Files tab. So it's not so useful when you are using subfolders under Files.

Ok now I see.

You named the folder "testssub" but you referenced to it as "testsub". Beware of the double esses.

I now this is an old post, but I have similar problem.
I test joseluis project, and after correction of directory name it works fine, so ReadMap work.
But if i use File.Exists :

B4X:

log("Exist = " & File.Exists(File.DirAssets, "testsub/test.map")

it return always False.
Is it normal ?
How to do ?
