Tracker's Metadata path?

By smither on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 17:09
I've tried with the Dominoes sample to modify the location of the "Stones.xml" File to be read from a sd card folder instead from the assets folder, the reason why I want to do this is because Android doesn't allow to add/remove/update files inside the build. So my question is, is it possible to read the Trackers metadata files from the sd card? If so, please give me an example? I tried this: if (!dataSet->load("/mnt/sdcard/example_folder/Stones.xml", QCAR::DataSet::STORAGE_APPRESOURCE)) { LOG("Failed to load data set. Valor!"); return 0; } And it didn't work. Thanks in advance Martin

Two things: 1) The path should start with /sdcard, not /mnt. Also note that some devices use /emmc instead of /sdcard. 2) STORAGE_APPRESOURCE expects a relative path to the application directory. STORAGE_ABSOLUTE will let you use an absolute path (use this one for the sdcard). - Kim
