Android Question Problem with files in folders asset

[economic_lq]

Hello friends
In b4a version 10.7 and above in Asset, if we create a folder and, for example, we want to read an image of that folder in the project, it gives the error of not finding the file.

There is a way to solve this problem?

Organizing DirAssets

Is it possible to organize the contents of DirAssets into sub-folders? If it is, how would a file called JFK.JPG in a folder called MAPS within the DirAssets folder be called, as in LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"JFK.PNG")

This method no longer works in B4A version 10.6 and above
You can test in B4A version 11

Please upload a small project that demonstrates it.

This project only loads an html file from a folder in the asset & another project load pic file from a floder in the asset with amir_glide

in b4a you load version 10.5 but in b4a version 11 it does not load

1. Don't waste your time with unmaintained and unneeded libraries.

2. I don't recommend you to use subfolders in the assets folder.
3. This code will work:

Sub Process_Globals
    Private xui As XUI
End Sub

Sub Globals
    Private web As WebView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    web.Initialize("")
    Activity.AddView(web,0,0,100%x,100%y)
    web.LoadUrl(xui.FileUri(File.DirAssets, "icon\test.htm")) 'ignore
End Sub

4. To get it working in debug mode, you will need to add:

#DebuggerForceStandardAssets: true

Note that the change is related to a behavior change in the underlying packaging tool (AAPT2).

Well, in order to load images in lists with a large number of items, we must use the glide
What do you suggest to use?

Hi,

I had the same problem, here's a strange solution :

try to change \ to /

web.LoadUrl(xui.FileUri(File.DirAssets, "icon\test.htm"))

to

web.LoadUrl(xui.FileUri(File.DirAssets, "icon/test.htm"))
