How to get right path files in android

Question

My code is following::

Scanner sc = null;
try {
    sc = new Scanner(new File("assets/mainmenu/readSourceFile.txt"));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    System.out.println(e1.toString());
    e1.printStackTrace();
}

Then, logcat show exception java.io.FileNotFoundException

How can I find my file? I tried

sc = new Scanner(new File("mainmenu/readSourceFile.txt"));

However, it's still throw FilenotFoundException

My file is in folder assets/mainmenu/readSourceFile.txt

and I've try this::

private InputStream is;
try {
        is = this.getResources().getAssets().open("mainmenu/readSourceFile.txt");
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.toString();
    }

I use getAssets to access assets file in android. However, how can I suppose to read text file if I use InputStream

Answer 1

You try this...Hope it will work

sc = new Scanner(new File("file:///android_asset/mainmenu/readSourceFile.txt");

Edit try this

AssetFileDescriptor descriptor = getAssets().openFd("mainmenu/readSourceFile.txt");
FileReader reader = new FileReader(descriptor.getFileDescriptor());

Copied from here Asset folder path
