How to Integrate AIOU Date Sheet Information into a Unity Project?

News & General Discussion

I’m working on a Unity project that aims to create an educational app, and I want to include features related to academic schedules. Specifically, I need to integrate the Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) date sheet into my application so that students can view their exam schedules directly within the app.

Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:

  1. Displaying the Date Sheet: I want to fetch and display the AIOU date sheet within the Unity app. The date sheet is typically available in PDF or web format. I need guidance on how to import and display this data effectively in Unity.
  2. Updating the Date Sheet: The date sheet changes periodically, so I also need a method to update the information in the app when a new date sheet is released.3. User Interaction: Ideally, students should be able to interact with the date sheet, such as selecting specific exams or viewing detailed schedules.

I’d recommend against making an app in Unity. There might also be issues getting students to run an exe. If this for a project like maybe an interactive game then it should be doable. I doubt anyone here is familiar with AIOU. If there is a web format then it’s probably worth looking at a html plugin. UniWebView 5 isn’t too bad. Ideally the AIOU might have some html endpoints that you could call e.g. post and return xml data. This would allow you to use a custom Unity UI. If it doesn’t and you still want a Unity UI you might be able to process the html directly. However, this will probably break if the website ever changes.
