InputStream is = getResources().getAssets().open("terms.txt");
String textfile = convertStreamToString(is);
    
public static String convertStreamToString(InputStream is)
        throws IOException {

    Writer writer = new StringWriter();
    char[] buffer = new char[2048];

    try {
        Reader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8"));
        int n;
        while ((n = reader.read(buffer)) != -1) {
            writer.write(buffer, 0, n);
        }
    } finally {
        is.close();
    }

    String text = writer.toString();
    return text;
