Hello all,
I have a client that I built an app for, that wants to load some pdf files and .mp4 movies via the app,
but must have the pdfs and movies in a folder on the android tablet separate from the app.
(the total folder size is around 900 meg for the pdfs and movies, so cannot be in the app files itself)
So I am a little confused as to how to do this?
I may be wrong but the only way to do this is to have those be in the android tablet documents folder???
currently I have functions like this:
[lua]
–load the pdf:
local function item1bTouch(event)
if event.phase == “ended” then
isactive = 1
--webPopButton.isVisible = true
local function loadURL_Listener(event)
local shouldLoad = true
local url = event.url
if 1 == string.find(url, “corona:close”) then
shouldLoad = false
end
if event.errorCode then
– Error loading page
– print( "Error: " … tostring( event.errorMessage ) )
shouldLoad = false
end
return shouldLoad
end
native.showWebPopup( 0, 25, 800, 480, “yadda/blah/blahblah.pdf”, {baseUrl=system.DocumentsDirectory, autoCancel = true, urlRequest=loadURL_Listener} )
isWebPopup = true
webPopButton.isVisible = true
bottomBar.isVisible = true
print(‘loaded from documents’)
end
end
item1iconb:addEventListener( “touch”, item1bTouch )
–open movie:
local function item7bTouch(event)
if event.phase == “ended” then
media.playVideo( “yadda/blah/blahblahmovie.mp4”, true)
end
end
item7iconb:addEventListener( “touch”, item7bTouch )
[/lua]
Really need help on how to load these items from a folder he puts on the tablet somewhere else…
thank you
