Candera AssetLoader

AssetDescriptor

AssetContext class has become deprecated and its functionality is taken by the new AssetDescriptor class.

Old Interface:

Candera::DefaultAssetProvider* provider = m_assetProvider;
Candera::AssetContext* assetContext = provider->GetAssetContext();
if (assetContext != 0) {
    for (Int i = 0; i < assetContext->GetAnimationCount(); i++) {
        const Candera::Char* animation = assetContext->GetAnimationName(i);
        //Use animation name
    }
}

New Interface in 3.0.0:

Candera::DefaultAssetProvider* provider = m_assetProvider;
for (Candera::AssetDescriptor::AssetIdIterator animationIdIterator =  provider->GetAssetDescriptor().GetAssetIdIterator(AnimationLib); animationIdIterator.IsValid(); ++animationIdIterator) {
    //use animation AssetId: *animationIdIterator
    //or use animation name: provider->GetNameById(AnimationLib, *animationIdIterator, 0)
}

AssetId

AssetId is a unique binary identifier that should be used to retrieve objects from the asset though the AssetProvider interface. AssetIds are supposed to replace the identification of objects by their name/path.

AssetIds should not be hard coded, but referenced through Symbolic Names. For more information see Accessing Items via AssetId. AssetIds can also be retrieved via the AssetDescriptor class iterators as shown in the AssetDescriptor example above.

Old Interface:

Candera::DefaultAssetProvider* provider = m_assetProvider;
Bitmap::SharedPointer bitmap = provider->GetBitmap(bitmapName);            

New Interface in 3.0.0:

Candera::DefaultAssetProvider* provider = m_assetProvider;
 //copy AssetId directly from SceneComposer, but better use specified symbolic name or retrieve it via AssetIdIterator
AssetId assetId = CDA_LIBRARY_ASSETID(0x0, 0x100);
Bitmap::SharedPointer bitmap = provider->GetBitmapById(assetId);
