Load text file on Streaming assets in Android

Question

On unity documents, Streaming assets are pressed to jar file.

I played my game on android, My text file on streaming assets did not be loaded.

 string path = Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + filename;
         if(Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android)
         {
             path =  "jar:file://" + Application.dataPath + "!/assets/" + filename;
         }
 
         if (File.Exists(path))
         {
             FileStream file = new FileStream (path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
             StreamReader sr = new StreamReader( file );
             
             string str = null;
             str = sr.ReadLine ();
             
             sr.Close();
             file.Close();
             
             return str;
         }
         
         else
         {
             return null;
         }

Hi,

I think the path Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + filename; is still valid on android, you don't need to use something else to access your data on android.

Anyway, try to read your file using a WWW instead of using a filestream, it should works better with unity.

Mmmh, I don't have any project to test right now, but what I would try is :

 WWW data = new WWW(Application.streamingAssetsPath+"/"+filename);
 yield return data;
 
 if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(data.error))
 {
    myText = data.text;
 }

You should place it into a Coroutine to use WWW with Unity.

it is always better to use with path.combine

 string filename = "";
 Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, filename);
