Accessing a resource file manually

I'm using a 3rd party library that does serialization and deserialization of it's data, I need to feed the library a data file that I have stored under Resources.

I can't use FileUtils to read the contents of the file, I need to do let the 3rd party library do the reading of the file.

I need to get the full path of the file so the library can find it.

FileUtils::getInstance()->fullPathForFilename("file.map");

returns assets/file.map on Android which is not found by ifstream when given that path.

How do I read a file manually, given that it's located in Resources?

You can't use ifstream to operate with bundle resources on android because they're located in the apk file (in archive).

You can use the FileUtils::getInstance()->getDataFromFile("file.map") to get binary data and try to transfer it to your library.

Also You can look at this answer link to answer. It might help You too.
