Android Question File.ListFiles(File.DirAssets) crashes on older versions of Android

[skaliwag]

Regardless of the rest of the code or what files are in the assets

File.ListFiles(File.DirAssets)

is shutting down the app, without any error message,s on both my phones that run Android 2.2.1

There is no problem on a phone running Android 4.1.2

Not sure why it fails on that devices. Note that there is no real need to list the assets files as you are the one who control which files will be there.

I agree it's not something you'd need to do often.
However, in this case, I need to use a lot of image files in the format '001Name1.png', '002Name2.png' etc where Name1, Name2 etc. are various character names.
I need to list these to break the file names up so that I know that 'Name1' belongs to 001 etc.

Have you checked the unfiltered logs?

As a workaround you can include a text file that lists all the image files (should be easy to build it on the desktop).

The unfiltered logs showed nothing.
In the end I went for the text file as you suggested.
