Hi all, especially Erel. I have been learning b4a and so far have got many things to work. My application requires 2 CSV textfiles (UTP-8 coded) for lookup. How can I upload these along with the b4a program from the PC at compile/install time ? I am using the B4A-Bridge successfully to install the program itself.

BTW - b4a - best app I've bought so far !

Everything you put under the Files folder gets included in the apk, under DirAssets. You can access it like this:

TextFile = File.ReadList(File.DirAssets, "mytextfile.txt")

You can add the text files by selecting the "Files" folder in the lower right of your IDE screen and choose "Add Files". Then you can access them as joseluis showed you.

I just want to clarify that it is NOT necessary to add them into the IDE in order to access them as I said before.
