Android Assets

Android offers one more directory where you can keep files to be included in the package: /assets. It’s at the same level as /res, meaning it’s not part of the /res subdirectories. The files in /assets do not generate IDs in R.java; you must specify the file path to read them. The file path is a relative path starting at /assets.

String getStringFromAssetFile(Activity activity) {
 AssetManager am = activity.getAssets();
 InputStream is = am.open("test.txt");
 String s = convertStreamToString(is);
 is.close();
 return s;
}
