NativeActivity.AssetManager is nil
FlorianUekermann opened this issue · 5 comments
The AssetManager field of the android.NativeActivity returned by app.NativeActivity.NativeActivity() is nil.
I'm building for API 24 with:
export CGO_CFLAGS="-march=armv7-a"
export GOOS=android
export GOARCH=arm
export GOARM=7
The device is a Pixel XL
Hi, by default all struct wrappers hold reference to the original struct, fields are not copied.
To copy all fields from the underlying C struct, including AssetManager reference for this case, use Deref():
a := app.NativeActivity.NativeActivity()
a.Deref()
// ... access fieldsThanks. I missed the Defer. However I am still having problems with the AssetManager. Maybe I misunderstood the rather sparse NDK docs. As soon as I get the app.onCreate event I do this:
app.Main(func(a app.NativeActivity) {
...
for {
select {
case event := <-lifecycleEvents:
switch event.Kind {
case app.OnCreate:
log.Println("onCreate")
activity = a.NativeActivity()
log.Println(activity == nil)
activity.Deref()
log.Println(activity.AssetManager == nil)
var asset = android.AssetManagerOpen(activity.AssetManager, "textures/textures.txt", android.AssetModeStreaming)
if asset == nil {
panic("asset not found")
}
...
I have verified that the apk contains "/assets/textures/textures.txt". The output I get is:

A bit of background: As you can see from the stack trace, this code is in a function (inact.Init()), which is part of an imported package. inact.Init() is the first function called in main() and the first line inside the function is runtime.LockOSThread(). Then loop over incoming lifecycle events until onCreate is received, in which case the code above is called.
Btw. I think it would be great if the app package had something like app.NativeActivity.OpenAssetReader(name string) io.Reader. I am happy to contribute that code, but I need to get it to run first :-).
Safe strings are disabled for this package, that means the strings you pass to binding should be \x00-ended, otherwise you're feeding the whole memory block :)
Try this:
var asset = android.AssetManagerOpen(activity.AssetManager, "textures/textures.txt\x00", android.AssetModeStreaming)I think it would be great if the app package had something like
I agree, it could also automatically add \x00 to the path. Thanks.
Since #7 is merged, I'll close this issue.
