read/write an ini

Hi,

i would read/write an ini file in my android game.
So i do this :
start of frame
> set current file of ini1 to "tes1.ini"
> set current file of ini2 to "tes2.ini"
> set counter1 ton groupitemValue ("ini1","my group","my item")
> set counter2 ton groupitemValue ("ini2","my group","my item")

Create ini file in data folder is on for each ini and the two ini files are present on the date element folder in binary data.

the value of item are 1 and 2... but i have 0 on the two counters in mmf end nothing appear in the android tablet.

Somebody can help me ?
thanks

EDIT : if i made the same in IOS, it works. If i put a pathname like apppath$ + "name of the ini" and choose windows application, it work. So the ini files are good ;)

this is an example that should work but don't work in android...

here is the 2 ini files. I need help please...
put the 2 ini in the same folder than the mfa.
Thanks for your help.

HI Zonacas, thanks to your reply. I don't understand what you say... sorry. Normally, you don't put the path of an ini in IOS or Android. It is a bug of the ini objet in Android or what ?

Sorry to bump here but is working as expected in your example: Ini 2 is asking for value 1 that does not exist or i miss something here, but if you change to value2 it works


Start of Frame
(Ini) : Set current file to "test1.ini"
1
(Ini 2) : Set current file to "test2.ini"
Always
(Counter) : Set Counter to GroupItemValue( " (Ini)", "value1", "a")
2
(Counter 2) : Set Counter to GroupItemValue( " (Ini 2)", "value1",
"a")

since test2 have

[value2]
a=2

Hi FVivolo,
Thanks for your help !
Yes a little mistake on the second value. But the first value should work too... And even i modify my test2.ini with [value2], i have 0 and 0 on my two counters...
It work for you ?
did you make anything with the mfa ?

GRRRR ! i build the apk and i have a blank screen ! no counters !...

In your binary data information, you need to take the full path and use that to load the ini via events.

For example, in binary data it reads "C:/Users/tes1.ini"

You can't just load "tes1.ini" in your event, you need to load "C:/Users/tes1.ini"

It's confusing because of the path, but think of the "C:/Users/" section as part of the actual full filename.

yes it is working for me, just fixing the value2 and setting the files to a new directory, try to copy your testxxx,ini files to the same dir , and i forgot to mention don´t forget tge permissions, write_external_storage, and read and write owner data.
