Greetings.
I'm trying to port a game that I'm developing to android. The game allows the player to get a random first and last name, and it reads the names from two txt files, called "first_names.txt" and "last_names.txt".
The game works fine on windows, however, when I test it on my cellphone, I get an error saying that the two name files are missing.
I think something is going on with the APK. How can I add those files to the android version?
Add extra files to APK.

Re: Add extra files to APK.
You can't, because Android doesn't have files per se. But if you use renpy.file to open those files, then it will pull them out of the .apk and give you access to them. You might also need to adjust rapt/whitelist.txt to make sure they're included.
