How to download a file and store it on a tablet
Hi everyone,
I have a huge problem. I am currently working on a game on iPad2 and Android tablets. I need to download a file (an xml file, to be precise) from an url address, and store it on the device for later use (reading, parsing, whatever).
I have read that I could use persistentDataPath -- which I have done (as shown below) -- but this doesn't work for the iPad, while being perfectly ok for the Android tablet. Here is a snippet of my code:
WWW www = new WWW("INSERT URL HERE");
yield return www;
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(www.text);
if (iPhoneSettings.generation == iPhoneGeneration.iPad2Gen){
xmlDoc.Save(Application.persistentDataPath + "/database.xml");
}
else if(Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android){
xmlDoc.Save(Application.persistentDataPath + "/database.xml");
}
else{ // for PC applications
xmlDoc.Save(Application.dataPath + "/StreamingAssets/database.xml");
}
I really can't see what's wrong with this.
Thank you in advance!
Bye.
EDIT: Just added a missing line in the code. Can anyone help me? :)

here's a fragment for a PNG, it may help you ...
function _folder():String
{
return Application.persistentDataPath + "/fattie";
}
function _filename( n:int ):String
{
return "picture" + n + ".png";
}
function _fullFilename( n:int ):String
{
return _folder() + "/" + _filename(n);
}
var bytes:byte[];
bytes = sillyPhoto.EncodeToPNG();
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes( _fullFilename( 13 ), bytes );
