Hi,
I use this code for iOS path:
- publicstaticstringGetiPhoneDocumentsPath()
- {
- string path =Application.dataPath.Substring(0,Application.dataPath.Length-5);
- path = path.Substring(0, path.LastIndexOf(‘/’));
- return path +“/Documents”;
- }
Documents folder include many .wav files. I want to play this audioClips.
I try this code:
- string filepath =Path.Combine(GetiPhoneDocumentsPath(),SongName);
- AudioClipmy=(AudioClip)Resources.Load(filepath,typeof(AudioClip));
- audio.clip =my;
- audio.Play();
but didn’t work, music is didn’t play ☹
How can I do???

Resources.Load only works for audio in your Resources folder, not for user audio.
You should use the WWW class. It has a handy GetAudioClip function, and loads async:

xCode Error line:
UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, [NSString stringWithUTF8String:AppControllerClassName]);
error:
libc++abi.dylib: terminate called throwing an exception
I try WWW.
Worked on computer(MacOs) but didn’t work on iOS ☹
my code:
void Start() {
string link = “file://” + GetiPhoneDocumentsPath () + “/” + soundName;
Debug.Log (link);
StartCoroutine(loadMusic(link));
}
void Update (){
if (musicLoader != null && musicLoader.isDone && !audio.isPlaying) {
audio.clip = musicLoader.GetAudioClip(false,false);
audio.Play();
}
}
publicstaticstringGetiPhoneDocumentsPath ()
{
string path = Application.dataPath.Substring (0, Application.dataPath.Length - 5);
path = path.Substring(0, path.LastIndexOf(‘/’));
return path + “/Documents/Raw”;
}
WWWmusicLoader;
IEnumerator loadMusic (stringlink){
musicLoader = newWWW (link);
yield return musicLoader;
}
What is wrong??

Use Application.persistentDataPath instead. Log it first ( running on the device, not the editor ) to make sure where it’s pointing, I forgot if it point to the Documents folder or one step higher.

Also, as with all things I/O, always check that the file exists. Use the [System.IO](http://System.IO) namespace, it has great classes to work easily with the file system - File, FileInfo, Directory and DirectoryInfo are musts, so is Path.

Thank you gregzo 🙂 My code is working. My fault is filename invalid character. 🙂
I use :
foreach(char c in System.IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars() ) {
newPath = newPath.Replace(c, ‘\_’);
}
And work 🙂 Thank you very much 🙂
