Hi,
Sorry for not reply earlier, since I was at a Lenovo Hackthon.
The C: was a cut and paste error. You should use
pathToSave =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal)
which will give you the /data/data/AndroidPackageName/ directory
Just select the file as a Embedded Resources (Not Android
Resources) and use the following (Normal Resource Handling ) to
retrieve the file
string[] resNames =
resourceAssembly.GetManifestResourceNames();
//Process the resource names from the manifest
foreach (string resName in resNames)
{
if
(resName.ToLower().Contains(fullResourcePattern.ToLower()) == true)
{
}
}
Hope this helps
Best Regards,
Sridharan Srinivasan
