✨ NAME ✨

al_android_set_apk_fs_interface — Allegro 5 API 💖

okay so bestie, you're on this page because you're poking at the Allegro 5 manual (that's the 3alleg5 manual, if you were wondering where the manual name went — it's right here, hi 👋) and you want the tea on this one specific function. and honestly? it's a good one. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_android.h>

void al_android_set_apk_fs_interface(void)

look at her. no arguments, no return value, just vibes and a void. she simply shows up and does the thing 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does this little icon actually do? This function will set up a custom ALLEGRO_FS_INTERFACE(3alleg5) which lets you work inside the APK filesystem. and the way that works is: the filesystem root is your assets directory, and you get read-only access to all files within. that's it, that's the whole deal, no cap 🌈

⚠️ Note: some things like querying file size or attributes are not supported by this. sad but true 😭 you can always use the PhysFS addon to open the APK file instead — because bestie, it is just a regular .zip file — and that gets you way more complete information. so if you need the full picture, that's your move 🔥

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.1.13 — she's been around, she's established, she's lowkey iconic 👑

---

and that's the whole page, bestie! you ate this. go forth and read your assets 🎀
