无法从带有PCL存储的xamarin Portable中的文件夹中读取文件

Question

I'm working on a Xamarin.Forms portable project in Visual Studio. I'm using the PCL storage plugin - and what should be pretty simple is driving me nuts. I can't access any files, not on my device and not from any folder in solution.

I need a simple way to actually read an existing file into a stream or byte array. How do i read from a test .mp4 file located in a folder in solution?

I've tried this:

IFile file = await FileSystem.Current.GetFileFromPathAsync("Assets/somefile.png");

Tried to access the folders from my winphone device - but all access are denied when trying to get files programmaticly.

Answer 1

I have implemented a solution for that im my shared -project.
With a few changes, it also should work in a PCL Project. Load images from resources (shared project)
