I’m developing an Android application. I’m very new on Android development.
I see on other projects that textures are hold on res directory. They have to be compiled and deployed into device.
I’m wondering if I can download a picture as a texture from a web service and use it.
I don’t know if every media that I need has to be compiled.
Thanks.
Yes you could download the pictures from the web and use them. If you plan on having changeable content then you should probably do so as well.
Adding Images to Res will have them included in the APK and, Then copied to the device on installation (Unless you use zipalign which should sometimes allow you to use content from the apk)
