Image as a Texture in HoloLens -Issue

Good evening,

Recently I was trying to create an app in Unity where with a button I could open an image or a pdf while the app remains open and running. I tried to do it with Unity, and I didn't see any problem. However, when I used the HoloLens emulator, every time I did it the app opens the file but then closes.

I thought that maybe if I defined several 2D Empty Objects (as Images, Raw Images...) the app would still run while doing this. To do this, I used the WWW class and the example of the Unity Scripting API.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/WWW.html
However, I don't know why when I run the app the Image doesn't change... I also tried the SetTexture() method it still doesn't work. So I was wondering if you have encountered the same problem, and if you could help me to solve it out.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best Regards

    It may be the WWW class. Try switching to UnityWebRequestTexture.

    Here is what we use. Note, I am being lazy and not removing a bunch of extra stuff. You can remove the ImageFitter code, any scaling/alignment code, and replace our HasError check:

    '
    UnityWebRequest TextureRequest = null;
    protected IEnumerator LoadImageHelper(string url, float scale = 1)
    {
    var localScale = DefaultScale * scale;
    TextureRequest = UnityWebRequestTexture.GetTexture(url);
    TextureRequest.disposeDownloadHandlerOnDispose = true;
    TextureRequest.SetRequestHeader("Accept", "/");
    TextureRequest.SetRequestHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate");
    TextureRequest.SetRequestHeader("User-Agent", "runscope/0.1");
    yield return TextureRequest.SendWebRequest();
    while (!TextureRequest.isDone)
    {
    yield return 1;
    }
    if (!TQ3DUtils.HasError(TextureRequest))
    {
    var downloadHandler = ((DownloadHandlerTexture)TextureRequest.downloadHandler);
    LoadedTexture = downloadHandler.texture;

                var aspect = AspectMode;
                if(AspectMode == ImageFitter.UseLargest)
                {
                    if(LoadedTexture.width < LoadedTexture.height)
                    {
                        aspect = ImageFitter.HeightControlsWidth;
                    } else
                    {
                        aspect = ImageFitter.WidthControlsHeight;
                    }
                }

                switch (aspect)
