OpenURL : open local file containing a space (Android)

Question

Hello everyone,

I have tried unsuccessfully to open a .pdf file that contains a space, in the default PDF player, from my Android tablet.

I use the following call:

 Application.OpenURL (Application.PersistentDataPath + "/My file.pdf");
 
 or in other words :
 
 Application.OpenURL ( "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.blabla.blibli/files/My file.pdf" );

Nothing is happening.

If I use another .pdf file without space (MySecondFile.pdf), it works perfectly. On Windows and Editor it works nice too.

So I tried to replace the space with %20. In this case the pdf application starts but replies that it can't load the file.

I have also tried using "file://" in front of the path and/or with WWW.EscapeURL applied on the filename ... but nothing works.

Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance.

i have the same problem. I can't open local file but also without space. Application.OpenURL( ) do noting in Android device (7.0) for local file (ok for open internet url). All work fine in windows. Is there some option compilation need ?

My code is : string pathFile = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath,"test.pdf");

             if (File.Exists(pathFile))
             {
                 try
                 {
                     Application.OpenURL(pathFile);
                     Debug.Log("File exist : " + pathFile);
                 }
                 catch (IOException e)
                 {
                     Debug.Log("Error at ImagePicklerScript :\n" + e.ToString());
                 }
             }
