Bug 2234

Summary: Need a RWops-like way to get Directory listings

Description Mike Kasprzak 2013-11-14 05:05:52 UTC 
This is mainly necessary for Android.

The SDL_RWFromXX (RWops) family of function can be used to read files stored in an Android APK file. The APK is like (is) as ZIP file though. Typical directory listing functions are of no use here. SDL_GetBasePath() is also not helpful here.


Some Starting Points:

On Linux/Mac(?) you use opendir, dirent* types, readdir, and closedir.

On Windows you use _findfirst (with *.*), _finddata_t types, _findnext, and _findclose.

Not sure about WinRT, but it's probably different.
