Change Absolute Assets Path to Internal Storage Android #964

Issue Type

Description

Before this, sorry for my english.

I have a game project was made by a game engine. Then, port it to android with cordova. Because the size of apk/aab more than 150MB, I try to implement AssetPackManager from Play Core API android studio for bundle build. When publish and try to install from playstore, the application download assetPack, but the assets were installed to root application (/data/user/0/..). So, I cant use it with default absolute path (file:///android_asset/www). I tried search the solution from any website, but nothing result. I dont know, May I miss something or maybe this problem must be made a plugin or whatever.

My Question or Request is: May I to change default Absolute asset path (file:///android_asset/www) to directory where asset was installed? ex: "/data/user/0//files/file.ext"

Thanks

Information

Make a project with cordova-android, implement with some dynamic asset delivery. When publish and user install your application, the application will download and install assetPack and we cant use that installed assets as normal assets with absolute path. (its ok with relative path)

Command or Code

I think baseURL, basePath?

Environment, Platform, Device

I believe this PR (https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/commit/5e7be8e1d6f9863f78a3bd481a3d366cc4d0a804) has something to do with this issue.

android_assets filepath is a special path that leads to your apps assets directory (which cordova copies the www folder into). This directory is already on android's internal storage. I don't think this can be changed, nor does it make sense to change this (otherwise you wouldn't be able to load your app).

If your extension pack is located at /data/user/0//files/file.ext" (assuming the application ID was omitted here), then this is also within your app's internal storage container and you should be able to access it without any special permissions via the file plugin.
