obb file location

[AlanScottAgain 1]

Hi

 

Is there an equivalent  to TPath.GetHomePath for the obb directory?

 

I want to deploy some video files in an APK expansion pack. But not sure how to find where they will be installed to.

 

Thanks

Alan

see on  https://developer.android.com/google/play/expansion-files

The getObbDir() method returns the specific location for your expansion files in the following form:      <shared-storage>/Android/obb/<package-name>/

Access restrictions

On Android 11 (API level 30) and higher, you cannot use the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT/ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE  intent action to request that the user select individual files from the following directories:

• The Android/data/ directory and all subdirectories.
• The Android/obb/ directory and all subdirectories.

maybe some like this (need test it in your environment)

 

function GetObbDir: string;
var
  AppContext: JContext;
  ObbDir    : JFile;
begin
  AppContext := TAndroidHelper.Context;             // SharedActivityContext;  // TJNativeActivity.Wrap(System.DelphiActivity);
  ObbDir     := AppContext.GetObbDir; { Delphi11 }  // before...  // ObbDir     := TJContextCompat.JavaClass.GetObbDir(AppContext);
  Result     := JStringToString(ObbDir.GetAbsolutePath);
end;

tested in Android11 + Delphi11 file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/com.embarcadero.Project1
