So, in sending in a FileDescriptor, I assume I would need to modify
openNative to take a FileDescriptor...
Presumably, I would get a FileDescriptor like this:
AssetManager am = context.getResources().getAssets();
AssetFileDescriptor afd = am.openNonAssetFd("mydictionaryfile");
FileDescriptor fd = afd.getFileDescriptor();
Is there anything else I would need to do? I will be storing my
dictionary in raw, as it the case with the LatinIME.
