Hi all,
I've tried searching for this but I am not sure of the best keywords to use
I have a text file containing a list of dates along with a small piece of text for each of the dates that I would like to use in my app as a map.
Now, what I'd like to do is to use B4X serialisation (whether it is random access file or B4Xserializator) to create a data file that contains the data from the text file already "encoded" as a B4X map so that I can include it in my assets folder (i.e. via File Manager). I can then read the file from the app and already load it as a map.
Is there any way to achieve this please?
Would using B4J be a good approach since I could then write it to a folder and then just copy the file to my B4A app?
Thank you for any thoughts on this.
PS. I did think about a DB, but I think it's a little bit of overkill for what is essentially a lookup table.
