How to read json file in android game?

Hi there,

I have few set of data store in different json file in a folder.When my game run, it will select one of the json file and load the data into the game. I use streamReader and specific the file path for the game to read the file.

When i test the game in pc, it works fine. But when i run the game in my mobile phone which is android platform, the game cant read the data from the json file. After i search on internet, it seems the file location in pc and android are different so i have to make change on the file path setting.

I had try on Application.datapath, Application.persistentDataPath, www method and change the write access in build setting to external(sd card), but my game still cant read the data inside the json file on my phone.

May i know what is the correct way to do read file in android or do i miss out some step?

Thank you.

Below is my example code on how i read the json file and load data into game.

 void Start()
     {
         Instance = this;
         StreamReader readJson = new StreamReader(Application.persistentDataPath  + FoodMenu.foodname + ".json");
         response = readJson.ReadLine();
 
         JsonData Json = JsonMapper.ToObject(response);
         
         //Set Recipe Name
         recipeName = (string)Json["RecipeName"];
 
         //Set time 
         time = (int)Json["Time"];
