List assets in a subdirectory using AssetManager.list

Question

My application has an assets directory in which I\'ve dumped a bunch of text files I need to load at runtime.

I have a directory full of assets of a particular type

Answer 1

I use the following two methods to ensure given asset is present:

    protected boolean hasAsset(String id) {
    return hasAsset(id,"");
}

protected boolean hasAsset(String id, String dir) {
    int idx = id.indexOf('/');
    if (idx > 0 && idx < id.length() - 1) {
        if (dir.length() > 0) {
            dir = dir + "/" + id.substring(0,idx);
        } else
            dir = id.substring(0,idx);
        return hasAsset(id.substring(idx + 1), dir);
    }
    try {
        return Arrays.asList(context.getAssets().list(dir)).contains(id);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    }
}
