Android Question Open a file with his application

[sdesan]

Hi,
i found this tread http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/how-can-i-open-a-file-with-his-application.10691/
all work fine but i'll like to read file directly in the app folder (i include files i need in the apk)
but i don't know how to change

i.Initialize(i.ACTION_MAIN, "file///sdcard/Fronteras.FB2")

in

i.Initialize(i.ACTION_MAIN, "file///MyAppDirectory/MyFile.ext")

Thank you

Sergio

You cannot open the file in Dir.Assets, but you can copy it first to File.DirDefaultExternal or File.DirRootExternal. Note file name in lowercase like: myfile.ext. See below code:

Dim i As Intent
If File.Exists(File.DirDefaultExternal,"help0.pdf")=False Then  
        File.Copy(File.DirAssets,"help0.pdf",File.DirDefaultExternal,"help0.pdf") 'file name in lowercase
End If
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "file://" & File.DirDefaultExternal & "/help0.pdf")
i.SetType("application/pdf")
StartActivity(i)
