Let's use the STL to read resources from the SD card instead of the application asset directory, as shown in the following steps:
Obviously, enabling the STL is useless if we do not actively use it in our code. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to switch from asset files to external files (on a
sdcardor internal memory).Open the existing file,
jni/Resource.hpp, and do the following:Include the
fstreamandstringSTL headers.Use a
std::stringobject for the file name and replace the Asset management members with anstd::ifstreamobject (that is, an input file stream).Change the
getPath()method to return a C string from the newstringmember.Remove the
descriptor()method and theResourceDescriptorclass (descriptors work with the Asset API only) , as shown in the following:#ifndef _PACKT_RESOURCE_HPP_ #define _PACKT_RESOURCE_HPP_ #include "Types.hpp" #include <android_native_app_glue.h> #include <fstream> #include <string...
