Treat BinaryData as file to make use of external library allowing to load data from filesystem only

Development

Hi,

I’m trying to integrate an external library in JUCE, which only provides a function to load data from the filesystem (i.e. no public function to parse data from an array). As the application should be compatible with desktop OSes as well as Android / iOS, I would like to make use of BinaryData instead of handling the different file systems via defines (e.g. JUCE_IOS, JUCE_ANDROID, etc.).
So is there a workaround to treat BinaryData as a file (e.g. loadFile(BinaryData::file)?

No, I don’t think there’s a utility like that. You could try writing the contents of the BinaryData to a TemporaryFile, and then load that file with the third-party library.

Ok, will try that. Thanks a lot for the quick reply!
