What's under DirAssets?

[boten]

I created a sub-folder ("sdir") under the Files folder of my project.

In the Files folder there is one file "a.txt"
In the subfolder "sdir" (Files/sdir) there is one file "b.txt"

the stmt:

Log(File.ListFiles(File.DirAssets ))

lists the file and sub-folders in Files (including "a.txt" and "sdir")

but the stmt:

Log(File.ListFiles(File.DirAssets & "/sdir" ))

produce an error

The log is:

** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
(ArrayList) [[B]a.txt[/B], images, [B]sdir[/B], sounds, webkit]

main_activity_create (java line: 210)
java.io.IOException: AssetsDir/sdir is not a folder.

Any way to "reach" files in a sub-folder of Files?

(I know I can add "b.txt" via the files tab of the project, but that really copies the file to the Files folder - not what I want)

You can access a file in a subfolder of the assets folder. However you cannot list this subfolder.
If you want to access a file in a subfolder of assets folder you should add the subfolder as a prefix to the file name. The folder should stay File.DirAssets.

well, both stmts returned false

Log(File.Exists(File.DirAssets,"/sdir/b.txt"))
Log(File.Exists(File.DirAssets,"sdir/b.txt"))

File.Exists is also problematic with subfolders of the assets folder. However there is no reason to use it as you do know which files are located there.
