Class AssetManager

java.lang.Object

android.content.res.AssetManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

AutoCloseable

public final class AssetManager
extends Object
implements AutoCloseable

Provides access to an application's raw asset files; see Resources for the way most applications will want to retrieve their resource data. This class presents a lower-level API that allows you to open and read raw files that have been bundled with the application as a simple stream of bytes.

Constructor Detail

AssetManager

public AssetManager()

Create a new AssetManager containing only the basic system assets. Applications will not generally use this method, instead retrieving the appropriate asset manager with Resources.getAssets(). Not for use by applications.

Method Detail

close

public void close()

Close this asset manager.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

open

public final InputStream open(String fileName)
                       throws IOException

Open an asset using ACCESS_STREAMING mode. This provides access to files that have been bundled with an application as assets -- that is, files placed in to the "assets" directory.

Parameters:

fileName - The name of the asset to open. This name can be hierarchical.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

open(String, int), #list

open

public final InputStream open(String fileName,
                              int accessMode)
                       throws IOException

Open an asset using an explicit access mode, returning an InputStream to read its contents. This provides access to files that have been bundled with an application as assets -- that is, files placed in to the "assets" directory.

Parameters:

fileName - The name of the asset to open. This name can be hierarchical.

accessMode - Desired access mode for retrieving the data.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

ACCESS_UNKNOWN, ACCESS_STREAMING, ACCESS_RANDOM, ACCESS_BUFFER, open(String), #list

findAsset

public final File findAsset(String fileName)

getResourceEntryName

public final String getResourceEntryName(int resid)

getResourceIdentifier

public final int getResourceIdentifier(String type,
                                       String name,
                                       String defPackage)

setConfiguration

public final void setConfiguration(int mcc,
                                   int mnc,

                                   int majorVersion)

Change the configuation used when retrieving resources. Not for use by applications.

openNonAsset

public final InputStream openNonAsset(int cookie,
                                      String fileName,
                                      int accessMode)
                               throws IOException

Open a non-asset in a specified package. Not for use by applications.

Parameters:

cookie - Identifier of the package to be opened.
