Download files inside game app

Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Download files inside game app

Psychosanity(Posted 2012) [#1]
Hey, I've finished a game for android which includes my latest electronic album (a bunch of music). But the music is 25 MB, rather large, so i want the game to be downloadable without the music, then have an in-game option to download the music.

How would I go about creating an in-game downloader to download my music i'll host from the web?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I was looking at mnet. Is this what I need? And if so how is it used? I don't quite understand if I can use mnet to download files, nor can I get it working.

Thanks again if anyone can help me out

Android can access files outside the APK (LibGDX can do it), but Monkey will want the files in the data folder inside the apk.

This would require a major change to monkey/mojo.
