How to load list object into the apk build properly?

[Rani]

Hi,

So..i am working on trivia engine and it works well on pc, and now i am working on the optimization for android, but on the phone it doesn't work and stuck on Fist screen and doesn't display questions and answers since they are all inside lists.
I understand that it is not enough to tell the event editor to load the list, so what else do i need to do to Include the list into the apk build?

Also, in the event editor, i lead the engine to specific hard drive locations in my pc to load specific list by using the command: "Load List File" And to save into specific list etc, so how can i make it happens in android ?

Did you add your list files to binary?

now i am going through another issue:
after i added the lists into the data elements-->binary data, it seems like it mess the code up: it is trivia game and, the main game is running on 3 frames and the game use 3 text files with one list objects, and each time the current line (question) is playing, the code delete the line and save the rest of the lines in the text file, minus the deleted line, into second text file and the next random line is running etc, so in the end, all lines will be used and deleted.
now after i added the files to the binary, it doesn't delete the lines properly and it keeps using the same lines again and again without delete properly the used lines so the text files keep the same amount of lines all the time.

do i need to do something else apart of adding the lists into the binary? do i need to add something into the code?

I have found the solution finally and just to keep things in order for anyone who'll need help with something like that in the future:
first I didn't know that I need to use the android object to save the lists and also I didn't know the right command to do so, so it goes like this: I went to list---->save list file---->(in the next opened menu) open the expression dialog box--->pick the android object and choose data storage directory + "/filename" (no need full path here, only file name).
the command look like this: DataStorageDirectory$( "Android object" ) + "/my file.txt"

this way it works perfect load and save files for android like charm.
