I've added custom syntax highlighting to the plugin for better visualization of zgeproj files: XML structure is styled similarly to PHP to de-emphasize markup ZExpression sections (<Expression>, <WhileExp>, etc.) use C#-like coloring Data sections (<BitmapFile>, <MeshData>) appear in grey for minima...

ZgeSublime is not an extension for ZGameEditor, but rather a Sublime Text plugin I started to build and run .zgeproj files directly from the editor. Installation Download ZgeSublime from: https://github.com/Txori/ZgeSublime In Sublime Text, go to Preferences > Browse Packages... This opens the Packa...

I've made the changes to ZPlatform_Android.inc and all the ZGE.java files. The file loading from `assets/` is now working on all platforms and preview mode. I've seen those lines in the Docs\ExportAndroid.md : 169 3. Enable "Settings / Security / Unknown sources" on the Android device. ......

Yeah, that's the simplest solution
I'll adapt the androidManifest afterwards.

Yep, it's only "/assets/" in preview mode

So it's not a bug, but it is a bit strange that the path behaves differently only on Preview. If I want to produce a Windows EXE, a Linux binary, and an Android APK from the same project, it's odd to be required to use "/assets/" to embed files in the APK, while the same path searches for ...

It turns out that string array writing was never implemented. I added that now Thanks, Ville! It works perfectly. Not sure why you'd want to use "char" encoding for a paint program Yeah, I started from the FileDemo and got a bit lost in the loops trying to detect the letter A :lol: Thanks...

* Little sidequest * In order to test the read/save file behavior on Android, I started making a modification of the FileDemo to turn it into some paint program. It reads the TestFile.txt at loading, but I don't know how to save the drawing to that file once it has been modified. Can't we save plai...

Hahaha, it's not that simple :lol: After verification, this works nicely to obtain /data/user/0/com.mydomain.filedemo/files/TestFile.txt: String dataPath = context.getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() + "/"; This is for /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.mydomain.filedemo/files/TestFile.txt: ...

Here's the usage for internal path (config file...): https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/app-specific#internal File file = new File(context.getFilesDir(), filename); And the same for external path (editable file...): https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/app-specific#ex...

So I think it is set in zgameeditor-master\Build\android\ZgeAndroid.pas: procedure Java_org_zgameeditor_Zge_NativeInit( env : PJNIEnv; thiz : jobject; ExtPath : jstring; DataPath : jstring; LibraryPath : jstring);cdecl; var P : PAnsiChar; begin P := env^.GetStringUTFChars(Env,ExtPath,nil); GetMem(An...

There's still one little problem, as building the APK (debug) from ZGameEditor also creates run.bat, but with the $title$ name on the first line, instead of the $filename$: "C:\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb" install -r "C:\Dropbox\System\ZGameEditor\Projects\FileDemo\...

It's one problem after another :lol: So, in order to confirm that my code change regarding ReadAssetFile for Android 64 is working , I'm trying to run the FileDemo on Android. And surprise, it's looking for TestFile.txt in a folder that requires root access: /data/user/0/com.mydomain.filedemo/files/...

Perfect. Thanks!
Now I can continue with the fileDemo on Android
