Solution:
– Place your file into some sdcard folder (by browsing there with Explorer), for example:”This PC\Quest\Internal shared storage\Download\myfile.txt”
– Add script to load file:var t = File.ReadAllText("/sdcard/Download/myfile.txt");
– From Unity menu select: Oculus/Tools/Create store-compatible AndroidManifest.xml
– Modify Assets/Plugin/Android/AndroidManifest.xml, add this line after </application> :<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
– Build & Run *Note: run fails, due to missing launch action.. so run the app manually in device (from library/unknown sources)
– Allow Read permissions when you start the app
Optional:
– You can enable LAUNCHER, to make Build & Run work, by replacing this line:<category android:name="android.intent.category.INFO"/>
with:<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
– Can also disable permission request (while doing tests), by modifying this line:meta-data android:name="unityplayer.SkipPermissionsDialog" android:value="false"
into:meta-data android:name="unityplayer.SkipPermissionsDialog" android:value="true"
– Can also add Write permissions:<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
