Answer 1

And atlast i got the solution for it.

AssetManager am = Class.getAssets();
        try 
        {
            InputStream is = am.open("1001.xml");
            int length = is.available();
            byte[] data = new byte[length];
            is.read(data);
            demoInput = new String(data).toString();
        }
        catch (IOException e1)
        {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
