How to get path or label after asset loaded?

I intend to load a list of sprites by label, then store into a dictionary (key=path, value=sprite). I can achieve this by loading locations by label, then load sprite one by one.

Code (CSharp):

1. var locations = await Addressables.LoadResourceLocationsAsync(label.labelString).Task;
2. foreach (var loc in locations)
3. {
4.     var sprite= await Addressables.LoadAssetAsync<Sprite>(location).Task;
5.     myDict[loc.InternalId] = sprite;
6. }

I guess this approach will be slower than Addressables.LoadAssetsAsync api, which takes a list of location as param, and returns a list of assets. However I'm not sure if the order of the locations param and the returned assets are matched. If so, I can build the dictionary from there.

Code (CSharp):

1. var locations = await Addressables.LoadResourceLocationsAsync(label.labelString).Task;
2. var sprites = await Addressables.LoadAssetsAsync<Sprite>(locations, null).Task;
3. for (int i=0; i<locations.Count; i++)
4. {
5.     myDict[locations[i].InternalId] = sprites[i];
6. }

Or if there a way I can get a wrappered object of asset, something like AssetReference, which exposes asset, path, or even label property of the asset? Some dummy code below,

Code (CSharp):

1. var locations = await Addressables.LoadResourceLocationsAsync(label.labelString).Task;
2. var assetReferences = await Addressables.LoadAssetReferencesAsync<Sprite>(locations, null).Task;
3. foreach (var assetRef in assetReferences)
4. {
5.     myDict[assetRef.RuntimeKey] = assetRef.asset;
6. }

 

In the upcoming release, the location will contain a PrimaryKey. This will be the address unless you alter the default behavior. Hopefully that helps your use case.

 

It's better than InternalId I guess.

 

Hey @unity_bill, any ETA on when PrimaryKey will drop? I also require this behaviour (though I'd much rather have a function to get the address of a loaded asset).

See my post here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/get-the-address-of-a-loaded-asset.699404/#post-4676705

EDIT: Aaaand it just dropped, 5 minutes later haha

 

@unity_bill So, whats the way to retrieve "label" of the object. Basically, im loading addressables using lables, now i want to know what is the label of asset that has been loaded(not the path and gameobject name)?? Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

 

I'm having the same issue with LoadAssetsAsync and not knowing the order they returned in. Is this now possible?

I like the idea of Addressables but the documentation and subsequent code examples on the interwebs are negligible.

 

I've done a bit of playing around. It appears that using the result Action<TObject> on LoadAssetsAsync will just spit them out at you as and when each one completes. However, if you use the Completed event handler, then it will have a list in the requested order.

 

So fetching the primary key after calling LoadAssetsAsync("mylable") .... was the claim that this would be implemented back in 2019 false?
