Android Persistant Data

Questions & Answers

Hey,

Got an interesting issue with an android build. Currently testing a project on Kindle Fire, Nexus 10, and a Sony Xperia tablet.

Our project saves a lot of data via XmlSerialized files to the Application.persistentDataPath. This happens the same on our iOS build as well. On iOS and on the kindle fire, and the nexus this method works fine, the data saves and loads without issue next time you run the app.

However on the Xperia, we get an error when serializing the xml that access to the path is denied. We have the app set to read and write permissions for the SD card, and this is the same build as works on other tablets.

I thought perhaps the lack of a present SD card caused the issue, but even with an SD card in the issue remains.

Any ideas?

Ok so issue seems solved now, Not sure what setting it was on the device (it’s been suggested that enabling the device to install from non-google sources can put it into “read-only” mode) But after a factory reset this issue just disappeared.

Just posting this in case others face the same issue.
