Android Expansion file - obb

[kratossam]

Hi,
Has anyone made an obb expansion file for their project? I really require this. Mainly what is needed is that if I put all the projects art assets in obb ( which are swfs) than what should be project.xml entry as well as what will be the corresponding code of it.

@singmajesty Maybe it could be automated, but it would require some thinking and testing. I did most things by hand, and I’ve only added support for images, sounds and text. @zaynyatyi In a nutshell, the steps I take are (assuming bundleid: com.purpletreestudio.mygame and version number 2) 1 - Create the obb file (it’s a zip file renamed to “main.$VERSION_NUMBER.$BUNDLE_ID.obb” (main.2.com.purpletreestudio.mygame.obb). 2 - Push it to the device, to the proper path: adb push Assets_Apkexpan…

It would be nice if there would be a way for some of this to become more automatic through the tools, I haven’t used an OBB file myself, personally

I just made an extension for this! https://github.com/thomasuster/android-expansion

@thomasuster, so does this work with swfs also? Meaning can I have swfs in obb and use them in the code?

We try to work with your extension… it’s not easy
But why you use NME and not OpenFL ?

[thomasuster]

That’s to bad, did you follow the readme?

I added support for text and bitmaps, sounds are easy to add support for. If you can load a swf from a byteArray then just send me a pull request with a method called getSwf in ExpansionReader.

src/extension/androidExpansion/ExpansionReader.hx

    public function getBitmapData(id:String):BitmapData {
        return BitmapData.loadFromBytes(getByteArray(id));
    }

    public function getText(id:String):String {
        return Std.string(getByteArray(id));
    }

For reasons why I use NME ask me on twitter or gitter. @thomasuster or https://gitter.im/haxenme/nme
