-===== Extracting assets ===== +<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
-If your app is running a web server or streaming video from assets, then you will need to extract these assets from your APK to the internal sdcard when your app is first run. These assets can then be served/streamed from the there instead, because assets cannot be served or streamed from inside an APK.+    package="eu.chainfire.libsuperuser"

-Another reason you might want to extract assets to the device's internal sdcard, is when you need to modify them in some way or allow the user to modify them at run time. For example you might have a template settings file or database file that should be extracted when the app is first run. You can handle the extraction of assets using the **app.IsNewVersion()** and **app.ExtractAssets()** methods.+    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="21" />

 If you create a file called 'build.json' at the top level of your project, then you will be able to control certain aspects of the build process, such as the 'minSdkVersion' setting in the manifest, which sets the minimum version of Android that your app will run on. If you create a file called 'build.json' at the top level of your project, then you will be able to control certain aspects of the build process, such as the 'minSdkVersion' setting in the manifest, which sets the minimum version of Android that your app will run on.

-If you want your app to handle certian types of file when the user tries to open them or use the 'Share via' option, then the **'pathPattern'** setting allows you to specify which file types your app accepts. For example, if you were writing a text editor, then you would use the** *\\.txt** pattern.+If you want your app to handle certain types of file when the user tries to open them or use the 'Share via' option, then the **'pathPattern'** setting allows you to specify which file types your app accepts.
