Is it possible to access files (with build action “AndroidAsset”) from a monodroid class library in a monodroid application that references the class library ?
I have created an “Assets” folder in the class lib and added a text file with build action “AndroidAsset”, but from the app I could not access it via Assets.Open(“file.txt”);
I was hoping that the Assets from the class lib and the main application could somehow be “merged”…
No – you a can’t access the assets from a class lib – only from the main exe project.
This is similar to the situation with Java Android projects.
One route around this might be to use embedded resources instead – see the answer to this question I asked on xamarin’s forums – http://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/186/is-there-a-cross-platform-way-to-include-string-resources-from-class-library-projects – note that I haven’t tried this yet
