nmcmap Code is Art Posts: 33 Reg: Apr 04, 2012 location unknow... 330	confirm \| cancel 09/01/13 10:43 AM (10 years ago) Videos Referenced from SD Card I am going through a complication with Eclipse/Android (ref: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=BEAC42002EB02F6B753535D&currentPage=1) and basically the video content of my app is going to have to be stored on the device's SD card in an "APK Expansion File." I am concerned that since the code is set up to pull the videos from the /assets/BT_Video folder that they will not play when stored on the SD card. Is it possible to have the video player reference the files on the SD card? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks.
