Hi,
If i want to put a soundfile to res/raw in an android csound project  and use it in csd, how should I do it?
Simply diskin2 "test.ogg" does not find it.
Thanks!
Tarmo

Dear Jacques,

thanks a million! Java is still hard for me and finding the solution without your help and the function would have wasted me probably a lot of time reading forums, making trials and failures.

What I did in my code was to use your function :

extractFileResource(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.test), "test.ogg", this.getCacheDir());

(+ the try /catch lines)

- the sound file got copied to the same directory where BaseCsoundActivity.createTempFile writes the csd and

asig soundin "test.ogg", iskiptime

in csound code worked flawlessly!

Something new from this day,

thanks!

Hello Tarmo,

Files in the raw directory have to be copied before you can use them in a csd. Not very elegant. Have a look at the cad player sample, it has files in an assets folder. It looks very easy:

webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/Csound6_User_Guide.html”);

Using the res/raw takes more effort:

getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.filename) to get the input stream, then the code below to write it to a file of your choice. Note that the code doesn’t check correctly for errors: the file can remain open. Needs fixing.

/**

* Extract a file resource into a  file

* 

* @param in typically given as getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.something)

* @param name of the resulting file

* @param directory target directory

* @return the resulting file

* @throws IOException

*/

public static File extractFileResource(InputStream in, String filename, File directory) throws IOException {

File file = new File(directory, filename);

FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);

BufferedInputStream bin = new BufferedInputStream(in);

OutputStream bout = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));

byte[] buffer = new byte[1024 * 16];

int bytesRead = 0;

while ((bytesRead = bin.read(buffer)) > 0) {

bout.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);

}

bin.close();

bout.flush();

bout.close();

return file;

}

All the best,

Jacques

That's very good. We should add a new example using this.
