open class ResourcesProvider : AutoCloseable, Closeable

Provides methods to load resources data from APKs (.apk) and resources tables (eg. resources.arsc) for use with [ResourcesLoader(s)](/reference/kotlin/android/content/res/loader/ResourcesLoader).

Summary

Public methods
open Unit close() Frees internal data structures.
open static ResourcesProvider empty(assetsProvider: AssetsProvider) Creates an empty ResourcesProvider with no resource data.
open static ResourcesProvider loadFromApk(fileDescriptor: ParcelFileDescriptor) Creates a ResourcesProvider from an APK (.apk) file descriptor.
open static ResourcesProvider loadFromApk(fileDescriptor: ParcelFileDescriptor, assetsProvider: AssetsProvider?) Creates a ResourcesProvider from an APK (.apk) file descriptor.
open static ResourcesProvider loadFromDirectory(path: String, assetsProvider: AssetsProvider?) Creates a ResourcesProvider from a directory path.
open static ResourcesProvider loadFromSplit(context: Context, splitName: String) Read from a split installed alongside the application, which may not have been loaded initially because the application requested isolated split loading.
open static ResourcesProvider loadFromTable(fileDescriptor: ParcelFileDescriptor, assetsProvider: AssetsProvider?) Creates a ResourcesProvider from a resources table (.arsc) file descriptor.
open static ResourcesProvider loadOverlay(overlayInfo: OverlayInfo) Creates a ResourcesProvider instance from the specified overlay information.
Protected methods

Public methods

close

open fun close(): Unit

Frees internal data structures. Closed providers can no longer be added to [ResourcesLoader(s)](/reference/kotlin/android/content/res/loader/ResourcesLoader).

Exceptions
java.lang.Exception if this resource cannot be closed
java.io.IOException if an I/O error occurs
java.lang.IllegalStateException if provider is currently used by a ResourcesLoader

empty

open static fun empty(assetsProvider: AssetsProvider): ResourcesProvider

Creates an empty ResourcesProvider with no resource data. This is useful for loading file-based assets not associated with resource identifiers.

Parameters
assetsProvider AssetsProvider: the assets provider that implements the loading of file-based resources This value cannot be null.
Return
ResourcesProvider This value cannot be null.

loadFromDirectory

open static fun loadFromDirectory(
    path: String,
    assetsProvider: AssetsProvider?
): ResourcesProvider

Creates a ResourcesProvider from a directory path. File-based resources will be resolved within the directory as if the directory is an APK.

Parameters
path String: the path of the directory to treat as an APK This value cannot be null.
assetsProvider AssetsProvider?: the assets provider that overrides the loading of file-based resources This value may be null.
Return
ResourcesProvider This value cannot be null.

loadFromSplit

open static fun loadFromSplit(
    context: Context,
    splitName: String
): ResourcesProvider

Read from a split installed alongside the application, which may not have been loaded initially because the application requested isolated split loading.

Parameters
context Context: a context of the package that contains the split This value cannot be null.
splitName String: the name of the split to load This value cannot be null.
Return
ResourcesProvider This value cannot be null.

loadFromTable

open static fun loadFromTable(
    fileDescriptor: ParcelFileDescriptor,
    assetsProvider: AssetsProvider?
): ResourcesProvider

Creates a ResourcesProvider from a resources table (.arsc) file descriptor.

The file descriptor is duplicated and the original may be closed by the application at any time without affecting the ResourcesProvider.

The resources table format is not an archive format and therefore cannot asset files within itself. The assets provider can instead provide files that are potentially referenced by path in the resources table.

Parameters
fileDescriptor ParcelFileDescriptor: the file descriptor of the resources table to load This value cannot be null.
assetsProvider AssetsProvider?: the assets provider that implements the loading of file-based resources This value may be null.
Return
ResourcesProvider This value cannot be null.
