How to save and load? [Android-SDL2]

Post by TheWaffleDimension »

I need to know how to save and load files using Martin Fellis's android sdl. I know I have to do something with the identity in the config, but I'm not sure what.

Yeah, I also need to know this, but I can't find it anywhere :huh:
I need to add unlocks and highscore to my game, so I need to be able to write and read files.

It should be the same as desktop love. Does it not work?

Where are the files you can edit and read saved?

You can use https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem ... eDirectory to find the save directory. Once you do please post you findings. I can't find on the Android wiki or love wiki where that save directory is. I need to add that to the wiki.

On my system it's /data/user/0/org.love2d.android/files/save/? (where "?" is the identity or the name of the folder/.love); I wonder what happens for fused files with a different ID, would the path be the same with a different ID than org.love2d.android?
lf = love.filesystem
ls = love.sound
la = love.audio
lp = love.physics
lt = love.thread
li = love.image
lg = love.graphics

While I can find the save directory it seems the current way files are saved causes the files to be hidden in newer devices. So save functionality will work but you just won't be able to find the files you made.

I've made a PR to love which once it is accepted would make it possible for you to save your files externally rather than internally
