Strreaming Assets

Unity Engine

If I put few files in StreamingAssets folder, in what location will it get deployed on the android device?

Where should I place the StreamingAssets folder; should it be /Assets/StreamingAssets or in /StreamingAssets ? so that it gets built into the .apk

Thank you.

Its meant to be within the Assets folder so the first of those paths

Those will stay inside the .apk when transfered to the device; under assets/ (uncompressed).

Thank you.

However, I am still unclear about how to access the contents of StreamingAssets.
Suppose I have something like /Assets/StreamingAssets/Config/config.xml,
in what loacation will I see it inside the .apk on the device?

With Unity pre-3.2 the StreamingAssets was intended for streaming data (like video) only. The reason is that the .apk is never decompiled when installing it, so any file inside the .apk would have to be read through a zip-reader (.apks being regular .zip files, with a manifest on top).
The Asset-bundles-in-the-data-folder thread describes how the WWW API can be used as a zip-reader in Unity 3.2 (still in beta though)

Thanks for the info.

I have installed Unity-3.2.0b1 and unity_update-3.2.0b1.

After installing the beta version, I get the following errors while making a build:

What could be the issue?

3.2 is android-9 minimum; and beta talk is best kept on the beta list.
