How To Get The Path To The Android Assets Folder In The Application Package

I have a whole folder structure that I want to copy from my assets folder. However, the mContext.getAssets().open() seems to only want a filename so that it can return an InputSt

Solution 1:

AssetManageram= con.getAssets();//u have get assets path from this codeInputStreaminputStream=null;         
inputStream = am.open("file.xml");

or

String file_name="ur.xml"    
inputStream = am.open("foldername/"+ur);

Solution 2:

Could you move the folder to your /raw folder? Then you could use:

 com.your.package:raw/yourFile

Like this:

intresourceId= context.getResources().getIdentifier("com.your.package:raw/somefile.txt");
Filef=newFile(context.getResources().openRawResource(resourceId));

And here's someone doing it with the assets folder:

Android Assets with sub folders

  InputStream is = getAssets().open("subfolder/somefile.txt");

Solution 3:

Use file:///android_asset for accessing the asset folder and then you can always give your subfolder there.

AssetManagerassetManager=null;   // null ???  Get the AssetManager here.AssetFileDescriptorassetFileDescriptor=null;
        try{
           assetFileDescriptor = assetManager.openFd("file:///android_asset/yourfolder/file");
                FileDescriptorfd= assetFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor();
       } catch (Exception e){}
