[Monodroid] How to load Assets outside of an Activity? - Update

[Amir Waldman]

Update: that code example doesn't work either. It throws
Java.Lang.NullPointerException

Can you even load an Asset without a reference to the main Activity? Is this
a bug or a 'feature'?

Amir

I'm trying to load assets outside of an Activity. 

This is what I have:


new Android.App.Activity().Assets.Open(...) 


Seems like you can instantiate AssetsManager like this, but it requires a
pointer:


new Android.Content.Res.AssetManager(???).Open(...)


Is there a simpler, less memory consuming for this action? Why is it limited
to Activity anyway?


Thanks,
Amir
