Unity: How to use Persistent Data Path for loading Image Target?

Question

Hello, everyone.

I'm trying to load the Image Target from an Android Device using it's persistent data path.

I have seen in the docs from EasyAR that I can do that setting the Storage Value to "App", like in the screenshot below.

But, I really can't figure out what should I put in the Path field. When I use Storage as "Assets", it works fine because of the file in the StreamingAssets folder. But with Storage as "App", it just don't work. And I checked: The QuestionBlock.png file is inside the Persistent Data Path of the Android device.

Can anyone help me out on this one, please?

Thank you all for the attention. Cheers from Brazil.

Found a way around it. I coudn't get the "App" option as a storage working at all... But what can be done is:

Open HelloARTarget and do the following edit to it:

Declaring the path before initializing the Image Target Tracking will lead to the correct Persistent Data Path and you will be able to use your Target without being dependent of the Streaming Assets.

Cheers!

How would this work for more than one image target?  Thanks!

Also what version of SDK are you using? I don't have helloartarget script. I have "ARGlobalSetupBehaviour", which appears to be similar.

Hi,

I'm sorry to reply you so late.

Hey, friend. Thanks for the answer!

I've downloaded the demo, but it only shows how to create the targets using JSon and with the Streaming Assets methods. There's no clue inside it about how to create using the "Storage: App". :(

I've tested and with the Storage marked as Absolute, it works fine since I put a valid Path. How the Path that leads to the Persistent Data Path would look like?

Again, thanks for the attention!
