Get Unity StreamingAssets file path with Android and iOS.

GetStreamingAssetsPath.cs

// Put your file to "YOUR_UNITY_PROJ/Assets/StreamingAssets"
// example: "YOUR_UNITY_PROJ/Assets/StreamingAssets/db.bytes"

string dbPath = "";

if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android)
{
  // Android
  string oriPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, "db.bytes");
  
  // Android only use WWW to read file
  WWW reader = new WWW(oriPath);
  while ( ! reader.isDone) {}
  
  realPath = Application.persistentDataPath + "/db";
  System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(realPath, reader.bytes);
  
  dbPath = realPath;
}
else
{
  // iOS
  dbPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, "db.bytes");
}

I also had trouble getting the json to read. what is in Boards class from @dnorth that we don't see?

I have an XML file stored in the streamingAssets/XML/file.xml.

The code work for iOS but not in Android!!

Any Idea?

I'm extremely a newbie to Unity. I've a JSON file from the web. The JSON file contents loads well in Unity Desktop. However, when I build APK and load it from Phone, the JSON contents doesn't load. How can I get it to work?

Here is my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using SimpleJSON;

public class DataLoader : MonoBehaviour
{
    string JsonDataString;
    public string OriginalJsonSite;
    public Text Temp;
    public Text Humid;

    IEnumerator Start()
    {
        while (true)
        {
            WWW readingsite = new WWW(OriginalJsonSite);
            yield return readingsite;

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(readingsite.error))
            {
                JsonDataString = readingsite.text;
            }

            JSONNode jsonNode = SimpleJSON.JSON.Parse(JsonDataString);

            Temp.text = jsonNode["temp"].ToString().ToUpper();
            Debug.Log(jsonNode["temp"]);

            Humid.text = jsonNode["humid"].ToString().ToUpper();
            Debug.Log(jsonNode["humid"]);
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(2);
        }

    }
}

Thanks !
