Android Question separate folder for additional user data?

[zzarazzio]

Hi everyone

I've been playing with B4A for about a month and I've already made 3 apps for the sake of learning

For the latest one I have a series of 34 pics to show, one at a time.
I have put them all in the Files folder and the app works fine but I'd rather keep them in a separate folder.
Unfortunately though, I haven't been able to reference an external folder correctly in the code, so

imgPic.Bitmap=LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"/MyGraphs/" & PicName & ".jpg")
​

won't work.
I would also like to add an additional folder with mp3 files and I'd like to keep everything separate, in the place it belongs…
Any hints?
Thanks!
Zzarazzio

you can save the files in the phones storage then load it in the app

dim bmp as BitmapDrawable
bmp.Initialize(LoadBitmap(File.DirRootExternal & "/images","myimage.jpg"))
