Problem with external file location on Android

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

Hi Ats,

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

Well .. that depends on what the desired behavior should be. In DOS & Windows a leading "directory seperator character" means that the path is "relative from the root of the current drive".

But obviously once you unify the behavior across various platforms, it's going to deviate from platform standards somewhere sooner or later

What if we just changed the test for "/assets/" to "assets/" in ZPlatform_Android.inc. I have a feeling that would solve most issues.

[Ats]

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

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.
...
179
180 * `/assets/` for asset files, or
181: * `/sdcard/` for file on SD card.

The `/assets/` path should be reflected here. But I didn't try `/sdcard/` yet.
