About Application

We can read the files saved in our StreamingAssets folder during runtime in Android.In this application images as considered as the files saved in the folder. Image file name should follow the following criteria : (i) should start with lowercase (ii) should be of two part seperated by space ( eg : player Tom.jpg) where first part resembles its purpose in our application (with which we find the image from set of files ) and second part is the name to be shown along with the image). Application will display the image along with the caption to be displayed (from above eg : Tom will be printed along with image of Tom in the application).In this script, I have saved file like sea Sea.jpg where i will find my image using substring 'sea' and displays 'Sea'.
