Make your app download the missing files using DownloadFile() and store them in the external storage. You can get the external storage dir using GetSystemInfo(). The directory returned in "ExternalStorage" equals the dir returned by the getExternalFileDirs() Android API.

Ok. I just skimmed through the docs you pointed out, but if I understand correctly the DownloadFile() command can download and inflate a compressed archive. This archive can hold all the graphics, from which they can be accessed after locating them with GetSystemInfo(). Is this correct?

DownloadFile() cannot unpack archives, but you could use the ZIP plugin for that.

Code: Select all

- New: APK Compiler now allows you to include whole directories as assets; this is very convenient
  when dealing with lots of files; you can access assets in those subdirectories with GetAsset()
  as usual
