Reading a Text file with Stream reader on Android

HI Everyone hoping you can help with a problem ive been banging my head against.

Basically i have a tab delimited text file with a bunch of information in.
I have saved this in the REsources folder and i am currently reading it in using Streamreader with the below code and then pushing it into a list array:

Code (csharp):

1.  reader = new StreamReader(Application.dataPath + "/Resources/Pokemon master list.txt");

On pc this works fine.

When i port over to Android its almost like it cannot see the file so consequently no info is show in the app.

Ive searched around with no luck so far.
Ive tried switching the file path to streamingassets, doing a resources.load and switching the file path to the android specific one with the file://jrar at the start. Still no success.

Is anyone able to help me out with some code or tell me what i might be doing wrong for this to not work on Android devices?

Thanks as always.

UPDATE:

Managed to fix my issue i switched to using resources.load

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.         TextAsset theList = (TextAsset)Resources.Load("Pokemon master list", typeof (TextAsset));
3.         string txtContent = theList.text;

And moved away from Streamreader to stringreader.
Solved all my problems.

 

Streamreader relies on an underlying filesystem. Android doesn't offer you one for the APK you upload.

Using Resources.Load() is entirely within Unity and will work every time.

As an aside, you can write that a bit cleaner with generics:

Code (csharp):

1. TextAsset theList = Resources.Load<TextAsset>("Pokemon master list");
2. string txtContent = theList.text;

 

Thanks this isn't what was trying originally. Turns out I needed to drop the .txt off the end and switch to stringreader.
Using what I used above is what happened when I got code desperate and couldn't work out why it wasn't working
But will update back to what you suggested now.

Thanks for the info.

 

i was writing full file name with extension that is
TextAsset theList = Resources.Load("levels/lvl" + lev + ".txt") as TextAsset;

and it was solved once i removed .txt
TextAsset theList = Resources.Load("levels/lvl" + lev ) as TextAsset;

Hope it helps
