Is it possible to download and overwrite a .resx file on mobile?

Question

My game uses SmartLocalization, which uses .resx files as resources to keep the localization data. Would it be possible to write a script that checks online for an update to the .resx and saves it on the local device?

Yes it is possible. The following methods can help you in the LanguageManager found in SmartLocalization:

This method takes the language data sent in and tries to append it to the currently loaded language. LanguageManager.AppendLanguageWithTextData(string languageDataInResX)

This method tries to change the whole language with completely new data from the sent in .resx file. LanguageManager.ChangeLanguageWithTextData(string languageDataInResX, string languageCode)

Hope that helps. /Niklas

Hey I'm trying to do something similar, though I don't need to load it from the web - just from a local folder. I've checked that the path is correct but no matter which of the two functions I use, I get the same error:

Any ideas why / how to solve it?

Well, as the error said you don't have a valid X$$anonymous$$L file:

XmlException: unexpected end of file

Have you edited the file manually? Are you sure you don't have any errors? Like an open element? $$anonymous$$aybe you wanted to create an empty element and forgot the "/" at the end?

X$$anonymous$$L parsers only accept 100% valid X$$anonymous$$L text, not like most browsers which interpret the HT$$anonymous$$L as good as possible.

Turns out it was due to the localization asset - its function expected xmldata and I misunderstood and provided it with path to an xml. So it tried parsing the path as if it were the content of an xml file -_-

Thanks for the quick reply - in a weird way it pointed me to the right direction!
