Description raincomplex 2014-03-07 07:17:37 UTC 
It seems like SDL_AndroidGetInternalStoragePath() or SDL_AndroidGetExternalStoragePath() would work for these. The wiki doesn't say whether SDL_GetPrefPath() should be private to the app or not (which is what distinguishes the two Android*StoragePath() functions).

For loading resources, it seems the path must be given relative (you can't use the internal or external storage paths to load resources)---Android's RWops first tries to load files out of the .apk, and then from the filesystem. So I'm not sure how useful SDL_GetBasePath() on Android would be.

SDL_GetPrefPath() and SDL_GetBasePath() were implemented here:
