Member Function Documentation

◆ setDelegate()

static void setDelegate ( FileUtils delegate)
static

You can inherit from platform dependent implementation of FileUtils, such as FileUtilsAndroid, and use this function to set delegate, then FileUtils will invoke delegate's implementation.

For example, your resources are encrypted, so you need to decrypt it after reading data from resources, then you can implement all getXXX functions, and engine will invoke your own getXX functions when reading data of resources.

If you don't want to system default implementation after setting delegate, you can just pass nullptr to this function.

Warning
It will delete previous delegate @lua NA

◆ getStringFromFile()

virtual void getStringFromFile ( const std::string &  path,
std::function< void(std::string)>  callback 
) const
virtual

Gets string from a file, async off the main cocos thread.

Parameters
pathfilepath for the string to be read. Can be relative or absolute path
callbackFunction that will be called when file is read. Will be called on the main cocos thread.

◆ getDataFromFile() [1/2]

virtual Data getDataFromFile ( const std::string &  filename) const
virtual

Creates binary data from a file.

Returns
A data object.

◆ getDataFromFile() [2/2]

virtual void getDataFromFile ( const std::string &  filename,
std::function< void(Data)>  callback 
) const
virtual

Gets a binary data object from a file, async off the main cocos thread.

Parameters
filenamefilepath for the data to be read. Can be relative or absolute path
callbackFunction that will be called when file is read. Will be called on the main cocos thread.

◆ getContents()

Status getContents ( const std::string &  filename,
T *  buffer 
) const
inline

Gets whole file contents as string from a file.

Unlike getStringFromFile, these getContents methods:

  • read file in binary mode (does not convert CRLF to LF).
  • does not truncate the string when '\0' is found (returned string of getContents may have '\0' in the middle.).

The template version of can accept cocos2d::Data, std::basic_string and std::vector.

std::string sbuf;
FileUtils::getInstance()->getContents("path/to/file", &sbuf);
std::vector<int> vbuf;
FileUtils::getInstance()->getContents("path/to/file", &vbuf);
Data dbuf;
FileUtils::getInstance()->getContents("path/to/file", &dbuf);

Note: if you read to std::vector<T> and std::basic_string<T> where T is not 8 bit type, you may get 0 ~ sizeof(T)-1 bytes padding.

  • To write a new buffer class works with getContents, just extend ResizableBuffer.
  • To write a adapter for existing class, write a specialized ResizableBufferAdapter for that class, see follow code.
NS_CC_BEGIN // ResizableBufferAdapter needed in cocos2d namespace.
template<>
class ResizableBufferAdapter<AlreadyExistsBuffer> : public ResizableBuffer {
public:
ResizableBufferAdapter(AlreadyExistsBuffer* buffer) {
// your code here
}
virtual void resize(size_t size) override {
// your code here
}
virtual void* buffer() const override {
// your code here
}
};
NS_CC_END
Parameters
[in]filenameThe resource file name which contains the path.
[out]bufferThe buffer where the file contents are store to.
Returns
Returns:
  • Status::OK when there is no error, the buffer is filled with the contents of file.
  • Status::NotExists when file not exists, the buffer will not changed.
  • Status::OpenFailed when cannot open file, the buffer will not changed.
  • Status::ReadFailed when read end up before read whole, the buffer will fill with already read bytes.
  • Status::NotInitialized when FileUtils is not initializes, the buffer will not changed.
  • Status::TooLarge when there file to be read is too large (> 2^32-1), the buffer will not changed.
  • Status::ObtainSizeFailed when failed to obtain the file size, the buffer will not changed.

◆ getFileDataFromZip()

virtual unsigned char* getFileDataFromZip ( const std::string &  zipFilePath,
const std::string &  filename,
ssize_t *  size 
) const
virtual

Gets resource file data from a zip file.

Parameters
[in]filenameThe resource file name which contains the relative path of the zip file.
[out]sizeIf the file read operation succeeds, it will be the data size, otherwise 0.
Returns
Upon success, a pointer to the data is returned, otherwise nullptr.
Warning
Recall: you are responsible for calling free() on any Non-nullptr pointer returned.

◆ fullPathForFilename()

virtual std::string fullPathForFilename ( const std::string &  filename) const
virtual

Returns the fullpath for a given filename.

First it will try to get a new filename from the "filenameLookup" dictionary. If a new filename can't be found on the dictionary, it will use the original filename. Then it will try to obtain the full path of the filename using the FileUtils search rules: resolutions, and search paths. The file search is based on the array element order of search paths and resolution directories.

For instance:

We set two elements("/mnt/sdcard/", "internal_dir/") to search paths vector by setSearchPaths,
and set three elements("resources-ipadhd/", "resources-ipad/", "resources-iphonehd")
to resolutions vector by setSearchResolutionsOrder. The "internal_dir" is relative to "Resources/".

If we have a file named 'sprite.png', the mapping in fileLookup dictionary contains key: sprite.png -> value: sprite.pvr.gz. Firstly, it will replace 'sprite.png' with 'sprite.pvr.gz', then searching the file sprite.pvr.gz as follows:

/mnt/sdcard/resources-ipadhd/sprite.pvr.gz      (if not found, search next)
/mnt/sdcard/resources-ipad/sprite.pvr.gz        (if not found, search next)
/mnt/sdcard/resources-iphonehd/sprite.pvr.gz    (if not found, search next)
/mnt/sdcard/sprite.pvr.gz                       (if not found, search next)
internal_dir/resources-ipadhd/sprite.pvr.gz     (if not found, search next)
internal_dir/resources-ipad/sprite.pvr.gz       (if not found, search next)
internal_dir/resources-iphonehd/sprite.pvr.gz   (if not found, search next)
internal_dir/sprite.pvr.gz                      (if not found, return "sprite.png")

If the filename contains relative path like "gamescene/uilayer/sprite.png", and the mapping in fileLookup dictionary contains key: gamescene/uilayer/sprite.png -> value: gamescene/uilayer/sprite.pvr.gz. The file search order will be:

 /mnt/sdcard/gamescene/uilayer/resources-ipadhd/sprite.pvr.gz      (if not found, search next)
 /mnt/sdcard/gamescene/uilayer/resources-ipad/sprite.pvr.gz        (if not found, search next)
 /mnt/sdcard/gamescene/uilayer/resources-iphonehd/sprite.pvr.gz    (if not found, search next)
 /mnt/sdcard/gamescene/uilayer/sprite.pvr.gz                       (if not found, search next)
 internal_dir/gamescene/uilayer/resources-ipadhd/sprite.pvr.gz     (if not found, search next)
 internal_dir/gamescene/uilayer/resources-ipad/sprite.pvr.gz       (if not found, search next)
 internal_dir/gamescene/uilayer/resources-iphonehd/sprite.pvr.gz   (if not found, search next)
 internal_dir/gamescene/uilayer/sprite.pvr.gz                      (if not found, return "gamescene/uilayer/sprite.png")

If the new file can't be found on the file system, it will return the parameter filename directly.

This method was added to simplify multiplatform support. Whether you are using cocos2d-js or any cross-compilation toolchain like StellaSDK or Apportable, you might need to load different resources for a given file in the different platforms.

Gets full path from a file name and the path of the relative file.

Parameters
filenameThe file name.
relativeFileThe path of the relative file.
Returns
The full path. e.g. filename: hello.png, pszRelativeFile: /User/path1/path2/hello.plist Return: /User/path1/path2/hello.pvr (If there a a key(hello.png)-value(hello.pvr) in FilenameLookup dictionary. )

◆ setSearchResolutionsOrder()

virtual void setSearchResolutionsOrder ( const std::vector< std::string > &  searchResolutionsOrder)
virtual

Sets the array that contains the search order of the resources.

Parameters
searchResolutionsOrderThe source array that contains the search order of the resources.
See also
getSearchResolutionsOrder(), fullPathForFilename(const char*).
Since
v2.1 In js:var setSearchResolutionsOrder(var jsval) @lua NA

◆ addSearchResolutionsOrder()

virtual void addSearchResolutionsOrder ( const std::string &  order,
const bool  front = false 
)
virtual

Append search order of the resources.

See also
setSearchResolutionsOrder(), fullPathForFilename().
Since
v2.1

◆ getSearchResolutionsOrder()

virtual const std::vector<std::string> getSearchResolutionsOrder ( ) const
virtual

Gets the array that contains the search order of the resources.

See also
setSearchResolutionsOrder(const std::vector<std::string>&), fullPathForFilename(const char*).
Since
v2.1 @lua NA

◆ setSearchPaths()

virtual void setSearchPaths ( const std::vector< std::string > &  searchPaths)
virtual

Sets the array of search paths.

You can use this array to modify the search path of the resources. If you want to use "themes" or search resources in the "cache", you can do it easily by adding new entries in this array.

Note
This method could access relative path and absolute path. If the relative path was passed to the vector, FileUtils will add the default resource directory before the relative path. For instance: On Android, the default resource root path is "assets/". If "/mnt/sdcard/" and "resources-large" were set to the search paths vector, "resources-large" will be converted to "assets/resources-large" since it was a relative path.
Parameters
searchPathsThe array contains search paths.
See also
fullPathForFilename(const char*)
Since
v2.1 In js:var setSearchPaths(var jsval); @lua NA

◆ addSearchPath()

v2.1

◆ getSearchPaths()

virtual const std::vector<std::string> getSearchPaths ( ) const
virtual

Gets the array of search paths.

Returns
The array of search paths which may contain the prefix of default resource root path.
Note
In best practise, getter function should return the value of setter function passes in. But since we should not break the compatibility, we keep using the old logic. Therefore, If you want to get the original search paths, please call 'getOriginalSearchPaths()' instead.
See also
fullPathForFilename(const char*). @lua NA
