Reading a text file or XML file in Android java
android, file, java, xml
Solution
I wouldn't use an xml for that.
I would choose between this two options: Check this first.
Text File
Add the file to /res/raw and read it from there.
Here you have an example code of how to read it.
Serialized structure
You might want to serialize all the `int array[][]` and save it in /res/raw.
Problem
I am currently working on a group project to build an Android game. I have been delegated the task of building a PC based level editor (which is all done). All I have to do now is decide on the file format for the map that is outputted. At the moment it is just a standard text file with different numbers to represent different tiles; E.G 0=path 1=wall 2=enemy. ``` 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ``` The actual Android game then takes this file and stores the values into a 2D Array. However those who are making the actual game are having difficulty opening a text file, and others have told me it has to be done using an XML file. I have now been asked to find a away to take in this input. Could someone tell me how I would read the text file and put the values into a int array[][] ? Or if it is easier, use an XML file and tell me how to format that file and read the values into a int array[][] Any help would be appreciated as I didn't learn how to use Android so I find this quite difficult. Many thanks/
