Correct. An APK file is essentially a ZIP file, and your raw resources exist only within the zip file, not as separate files. Therefore, when you get a file descriptor for a resource, what you're really getting is a file desciptor for the apk, along with the position within the apk, i.e. offset and length. This is why openRawResourceFd() returns an AssetFileDescriptor, not a FileDescriptor. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
