Question by Danillo_Magno · Apr 24, 2016 at 07:32 AM · androidwwwfolderstreamingassets

Problem using StreamingAssets on Android build

Hey guys.

Here's the thing: I need to retrieve a file from streamingAssets folder after the build, but I tried every path that documentation and foruns tells to try and It seens that it can't find the file. I made a PC build, and using the code below it worked nice, but on the android build not.

     public WWW wwwFile

 public IEnumerator initialize()
 {
     string path = "file:///"+Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/savedPatterns.gd";
     string uin = debugger.text;
     debugger.text = uin+" On Windows"+"\n" ;
     if(Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android)
     {
         path =  "jar:file://" + Application.dataPath + "!/assets/"+"savedPatterns.gd";
         debugger.text = uin+" On Android"+"\n" ;
     }

     if(File.Exists(path)) 
     {
     debugger.text = debugger.text+" File exists"+"\n" ;
     wwwFile = new WWW(path);
         while(!wwwFile.isDone)
         yield return null;
         }
     else debugger.text = debugger.text+" File don't exist"+"\n" ;

 }

I tried "jar:file://" + Application.dataPath + "!/assets/"+"savedPatterns.gd"; Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/savedPatterns.gd";

and some others and nothing. On android build always point that file don't exist. Can someone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

  1. "jar:file://" + Application.dataPath + "!/assets/"+"savedPatterns.gd"; Application.strea$$anonymous$$gAssetsPath + "/savedPatterns.gd"; Why "!/assets/" ? Why adding a « ! » ?

  2. If I'm not mistaken, you have to manually extract by code the file from your apk and copy it onto somewhere, then read it

  3. Have you enabled permission to write on sd card? $$anonymous$$aybe that may change something

Unity Docs mentions that "!" sign in that link. And I'm also trying to find the answer to this question.

Have you looked at their example?
