    I'm trying to make a wallpaper and am at a loss as to how unity can interact with the android api and file system. After looking around, I found two plugins unity2eclipse (which is outdated (works for unity 3.4)) and uLiveWallpaper:

    https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/ulivewallpaper-indie-52110

    While these plugins may be helpful in creating wallpapers, I'm not sure how well they interface with the file system (I'll need to download config files and read them from the app).

    Is there any documentation on this topic?

    Here is how I get the Android devices locale by calling Java code:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. private static string GetAndroidLocale()
    2. {
    3.     AndroidJavaClass unityPlayer = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer");
    4.     AndroidJavaObject currentActivity = unityPlayer.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity");
    5.     AndroidJavaObject currentResources = currentActivity.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getResources");
    6.     AndroidJavaObject currentConfiguration = currentResources.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getConfiguration");
    7.     AndroidJavaObject currentLocale = currentConfiguration.Get<AndroidJavaObject>("locale");
    8.  
    9.     string javaCountry = currentLocale.Call<string>("getCountry");
    10.     string javaLanguage = currentLocale.Call<string>("getLanguage");
    11.  
    12.     return $"{javaLanguage}-{javaCountry}";
    13. }
    This is the equivalent of calling currentActivity.getResources().getConfiguration().locale.getCountry() / getLanguage() in Java.
