Android file path from assests

[Gabriela Radu]

Hello,

Do you know why it does not recognize my path?

 Uri path = Uri.fromFile(new File("assets/test.xml"));  // tried with "file:///android_asset/test.xml"
String fileIn = path.getPath();
 FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileIn); 

I get a FileNotFound error at the end, the fis variable.

Thank you very much.

try this

InputStream is=getAssets().open("test.xml");

Gabriela Radu : Understand the reason why your approach did not work?
The "asset" folder is not part of Android file system but your app.
