List of internal assets

[alex-Symbroson]

Is there, or should there be, a list of provided layout background jpg files in the docs? I will PR this later, if approved.

Good idea
there are several subfolders available (you can see all of them when extracting the DroidScript.apk as zip)
ie there is /Sys /Img /assets and so on - several of them are used across the samples, but theres no complete list somewhere (probably because it frequently changes when new samples are released or removed)

probably best to put this into a details tag in the intro section either Overview or File Structure

i think intro/FileStructure works best

Not in the docs
ditto for /Sys/Snd and /Sys/fonts and /Sys/fonts/MUI

Yeah, thanks. I'll hit all of these, not just the images. The challenge is that when we are in code and want to use SetBackground(filename) we have no idea what filenames are available except for their reference in samples, publicly available code, and our own poking into the zip.
Intellisense would be great in there ... everywhere actually. 😉
But I understand that it doesn't know that it might need to default to the Sys folders. This would need to be a list of literals or an enum. Hmmm.....

I have small apps to list these folders
Also fontawesome icons and MUI icons

If you add those to the Samples, we can refer to them from the docs. This will make the lists dynamic rather than static, requiring manual recognition of changes and updates.

I think the icons are in the wiki

CaptainStarbuck — 27/08/2023 19:52
Well, it looks like the wiki may be deprecated... I would volunteer to enhance a basic list app with a display of the colors and icons. It would be a nice exercise for me. If you'd prefer, I'll be happy to write these from scratch.
Feedback from the team would help us to know if anything like this is already planned, available, or if this might be obsoleted by some other effort.
