very strange

i have this files in my resource folder (where the main.lua is)

index.html
index.css
backup.png

when i request index.css it does find the file and give me:
path: /data/data/com.chris.mydayscorona/files/coronaResources/index.css

but index.html gives:
path: file:///android_asset/index.html

and backup.png
path: backup.png
also does not work

i also tried manually to set the path same as index.css so for example
/data/data/com.chris.mydayscorona/files/coronaResources/backup.png
/data/data/com.chris.mydayscorona/files/coronaResources/index.html

both not found on a real Android Device (nexus one) ... on iPhone works fine, all found.

i am really confused who... why only index.css is found, please help !!

thx
chris

any news here?
please, why can i find AND open any .css file in my resource folder,
but not any other file like .html , .png etc?

thats in my resource folder

aaa.css
bbb.css
aaa.html
bbb.html
aaa.png
bbb.png

system.pathForFile(file, base ) > does only create a proper path for the .css files ... all other do not come found while trying to open with > io.open(path,"r")

thx
chris

any news... looks I have to fill a bug report :(

Is that a typo in your original post? You seem to have messed up a string by using ' and ".

I don't work with Android so can't advise on the rest of it, however that code snippet is of some concern.

@peach.

its cool you keep up on that postings :) thanks.

yes its a typo.... but not in the original code (otherwise it would not work at all :)

anyhow.. the bug still resists on an Android Device.
I did a test app, you can download here and just install on a android device.

http://www.2t4u.com/!testapps/coronaandroidtestapp_openressources.zip
its source & compiled.

the app itself is just a folder with:

aaa.css
aaa.htm
aaa.html
aaa.jpg
aaa.png
main.lua

----main.lua =
