Android Question Read Settings file

[ovt001]

Hello Everybody,
I search a easy way to read parameters from a settings.txt file that stored in File.DirRootExternal.
In the past I use in VB to create a Settings.ini file.
I wrote the parameter like
"[Settings]
"Variable=value

So I could search the parmeter "Variable" and read the value.

But how do I have to do this on Android?

thank you
O.

Use a map. This map has Key/Value pairs. Store it with RAF (Random Access File) "WriteB4xObject" and later "ReadB4xObject". You can encrypt it very easy, too.

You are right I thought that my knowledge of VB will be enought, but apparently not ....
