I’m trying to fix this issue for real now because loading all of the FMOD banks into memory makes Android crash even with high compression Bundle Resources Android path (SOLVED)
I’m working a modified version of the FMOD example to try to get this to work
Here is current progress https://github.com/subsoap/defold-fmod
It works on Windows, but not on Android.
I tried to inspect the apk generated but it looks like it puts the banks folder in an unknown location or something?
I tried an armv7-android specific bundle resources folder but it did not work either.
I guess reading over the old thread again the problem is with the pathing when sending a relative path to the native extension on Android like @britzl said. So I need to be able to figure out an absolute path, and then send that to the native extension.
I’m not an Android expert so I’m not sure what to use to get the full path to build an absolute path to the banks to. I’m not sure if that will even work! 
Will begin some tests soon. I think I need to make a mini native extension to use this code?
Didn’t Sergey create an extend for this already?
Ah yes that was the one I was thinking of.
Seems to work with bundling for Windows but not for Android.
Example of a path, what’s missing?

JNIEnv* env = 0;
