How to save a string on android without "contains a path separator" ERROR

RockyHawk

Alright so my code is basically:

int gun; gun = int(loadStrings("gun.txt"));

I get an error about a path separator. The code used to be "data/gun.txt" instead of "gun.txt" because of the error. Didn't fix it. I have tried another thread but it didn't work and this problem for some reason isn't asked often according to me not finding anything so can anyone help?

I have tried another thread but it didn't work

Can you post that other thread? It is good for documentation

Yes, I agree, this issue is common. Check this: https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/25419/how-to-load-and-save-table-on-android-without-error-file-contains-a-path-separator

@RockyHawk===

are you LOADING (from your data folder) or are you SAVING with some path which includes a "/"???? - If the second one, this question has been solved a lot of time; look to the forums.

I am saving and loading with the same directory used. So i use "data/gun.txt" but u have tried "gun.txt" on its own aswell.

@kfrajer I tried the thread you posted, nothing there worked. Either the same error or some other error that is longer than the initial error.

Show an MCVE demonstrating your problem. Also specify Android Mode version, Processing version and OS. What permissions have you enabled for your android sketch?

On a side note,

int gun;
gun = int(loadStrings("gun.txt"));

Please check the reference for proper usage of these functions. What you are trying to do here is not going to work. Hint: What type of structure does loadStrings() returns.

@kfrajer Hey I did some troubleshooting and somehow it started working? :) I used the same code (just "gun.txt") and it launched. So I don't know what was wrong with the code as it is around 800 lines long but anyways "gun.txt" and "guns/pistol.png" for images seem to work? Thanks for the help though :)

EDIT:

I did add the following code to the code because i saw someone else with it so maybe that fixed it idk because I'm new in android mode.

import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Context; import android.widget.FrameLayout; import android.os.Environment; import android.graphics.Color; import android.widget.Toast; import android.os.Looper; import android.view.WindowManager; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.ViewParent; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.view.View; import android.widget.RelativeLayout; import android.view.LayoutInflater; import android.R.string;
