Specifically, I am working on integrating StockFish with Android. The significant part of SF is its syzygy - directory where its tablebase is stored.These files are huge (about 1GB) and I do not want to include them in the program body. I want to allow the user to download them and specify their directory so that SF can use them. SF loads one of the files within this directory, one at a time, as needed.
StockFish is a shared library written in C++.
How can this be done with the current APIs?
