Android Question DirAssets folder not created

[ViMeAv ICT]

Suddenly the dirassets folder is not created when i reinstall the release apk.
I deleted the old version (12) and hereby the dirassets folder was deleted automatically.
Then I installed the new version (15) but no dirassets folder was created.
What can be the problem?

Have you checked if the "assets" folder and files are there if you unzip your apk?

I guess it is only created if you use

#DebuggerForceStandardAssets: true

Assets is a virtual folder

Yes, they are in the apk file.

That error message doesn't necessarily imply that the Assets folder (or any other) does not exist. Most probably it is the file which is not found. Perhaps a mispelling error or that the file name needs to be all lower-case (Android is case-sensitive)?

You can always check the real contents with File.ListFiles(File.DirAssets)

The Assets folder was not the problem. The copy to folder didn't exist. I had to copy a file in it, to create, it seems.

Dim testfolder As String = rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("")
        File.WriteString(testfolder,"test.txt","aaa")
