Get Bitmap from assets:

public Bitmap loadBitmapFromAssets(Context context, String path)
{
    InputStream stream = null;
    try
    {
        stream = context.getAssets().open(path);
        return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(stream);
    }
    catch (Exception ignored) {} finally
    {
        try
        {
            if(stream != null)
            {
                stream.close();
            }
        } catch (Exception ignored) {}
    }
    return null;
}

Get Drawable from assets:

public Drawable loadDrawableFromAssets(Context context, String path)
{
    InputStream stream = null;
    try
    {
        stream = context.getAssets().open(path);
        return Drawable.createFromStream(stream, null);
    }
    catch (Exception ignored) {} finally
    {
        try
        {
            if(stream != null)
            {
                stream.close();
            }
