[Android} No ability to switch games/Data.rsdk files #429

@nonremittal

Description

@nonremittal

Expected Behavior

User is able to switch game inside/outside the app

Actual Behavior

App is restricted to one game/file in its folder and settings

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install APK from Releases page.
  2. Set up Data.rsdk file as normal for chosen game.
  3. This is now the only game playable.

On desktop computers this is a non-issue, since you can simply set up multiple directories each with separate Data.rsdk files for different games.

Issue #380 suggests a launcher which I understand is outside the scope of this project. However unlike in Windows, Linux, etc. you can (usually) only have one instance of an app installed.

Rather than have 2-3 separate apps or a fancy in-app launcher, what about something like the following:
settings.ini's DataFile=Data.rsdk is instead something like DataFile=Data.rsdk,Data2.rsdk,Data3.rsdk for different games?
Alternatively, DataFile=Data.rsdk, DataFile2=Data2.rsdk etc,

It would load the first RSDK file as normal, but a Dev Menu option allows the user to select one of the others and restart the app with the chosen data file.
