Code example to load StreamingAssets

Hello.

I am not able to access StreamingAssets for AssetBundle purpose for Android. Works fine in Editor but not in Android. Does anyone know how to do this? Here is what I did.
string localbundlePath = Application.streamingAssetsPath+"/localbundle";
Debug.LogError("gettinglocalBundle:"+localbundlePath);
string url = new WWW(localbundlePath).url;
Debug.LogError("gettingurl:"+localbundlePath);
BundleLoaderB.localBundle = AssetBundle.LoadFromFile(url);

The error is:
Unable to open archive file: jar:file:///data/app/com.bob.game-1/base.apk!/assets/localbundle

 

I'm seeing the same thing on iOS and Android. I've posted this issue a few times on the forums but have no answers yet.

My post is here:

I thought Asset Bundles are a major feature for Unity. SMH.... I can't find any documentation that doesn't involve remote downloaded bundles.

 

So far the only way it works is with WWW.LoadFromCacheOrDownload. But that's not good, I don't want to extract it, I just want to read from the bundle like Resources.Load(). I wonder if anyone has ever succeeded?!?

 

From what I can tell, the answer is no. No one has been able to do it and Unity moderators won't answer the question.

I have trued using WWW.LoadFromCacheOrDownload with local AssetBundles stored in the StreamingAssets folder and I get the same error (an yes I prepended the URL with file:// when trying).

They have documentation here that is very hard to find but things don't work the way they say it should:

http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/AssetBundleCompression.html

 

are u using ios or android? For me, www.loadfromcacheordownload works for android, loadfromfileasync works for mac and ios. but it would be better if loadfromfileasync works for android too because no need for decompression and taking up more than double the space of what the bundle already takes.

 

I'm trying loadfromfileasync on iOS with Unity 5.3.4f1 but getting the "Unable to open archive file" error on iOS. It works on OSX. I haven't tried Android since I started using 5.3.4f1.

Do you file paths include file:// before the file name when using loadfromfileasync or not? If you could include a snippet of your code including the loadfromfileasync call, that would be much appreciated.
