How to include android assets(not res) folder in a native extension?

[cb_bkelley]

I have not been able to find any documentation on this subject.  I have an ANE that is using a font to display icons in an activity launched through an ANE.  The font(.ttf) is included in the assets(not res) folder in the android native project. How do I package the assets folder correctly in the ANE so that it can be accessed by the activity?

Note: files in the assets folder are not accessed via the R.* mechanism in native android code.

Any input on this would be great!  Thanks!

Hey, I have the same question. Did you find a solution?

I don't know "the right way" to do it but you can include any file with `-C` option of `adt`. Unfortunately these are no automatically included in APK when you build final project that uses ANE. So you would have to unpack these files from ANE and then again use `-C` to include them when building final APK. But there is a caveat. As resources associated with packages and could be put in separate folders they are somewhat safe from conflicts. But that is not the case with raw assets. So if multiple ANEs will have assets of the same name then you are in trouble.
