Explanation

android-opencc leverages on the original OpenCC project and invoke the native code via JNI, the text phrase dictionary files are shipped in the assets folder. Android NDK does not provide means to create and read file streams from directly from assets folder, therefore the dictionary files are then copied to the application data folder in the first call of ChineseConverter.convert()

If you need to update the dictionary files in the assets folder, please remember to call ChineseConverter.clearDictDataFolder() once to clear the old dictionary files, so the new dictionary files will be effective in the next ChineseConverter.convert() call.

Compilation

You need the Android NDK for compilation, please download the NDK and configure the path to NDK in local.properties file.
