This is the second thread that I have started for the same question since I did not get a right answer/working answer for my earlier question. I am trying to read a text file from my assests folder. The code works on the desktop but does not on Android. I understand I need a context or an asset manager but then I cannot get resolve method. I have tried everything so far, but I am unable to find a tutorial that works. I even changed the java version to 1.7 to get the try with resources. I am still a noob, so any help would be great. Here is the full class of reading the file and generating a word.
public class WordGenerator {
public String randomWord;
public Random rand;
public char [] randomWordChar;
public ArrayList<String> words = new ArrayList<String>();
private Context mCtx; //<-- declare a Context reference
public void WordGenerator() {
rand = new Random();
String all = new String("words.txt");
String line;
try {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(("words.txt")));
if (!br.ready()) {
throw new IOException();
}
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
words.add(line);
}
br.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
int size = words.size();
Random rn = new Random();
int randWord = rn.nextInt(size);
randomWord = words.get(randWord);
randomWordChar = randomWord.toCharArray();
}
}
I even had a couple of tries of separating the load process into a different void class but failed. If possible help thank you. Here is the link to the other question so u know the answers that did not work!!
