# al\_android\_set\_apk\_fs\_interface(3alleg5)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_android\_set\_apk\_fs\_interface - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro_android.h>
  void al_android_set_apk_fs_interface(void)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

This function will set up a custom ALLEGRO\_FS\_INTERFACE(3alleg5) which allows working within the APK filesystem. The filesystem root is your assets directory and there is read-only access to all files within.

*Note:* Some things like querying file size or attributes are not supported by this. You can always use the PhysFS addon to open the APK file (it is just a regular .zip file) and get more complete information.
