This question is with regards to this one. Since it is a specific question I moved that question by itself here. I have tried creating a text file, \"foo.txt\", an read it i

Answer 1

I'm with CommonsWare in that case (that's the safe side :) ), but it should be:

AssetManager assetManager = getResources().getAssets();
InputStream inputStream = null;

    try {
        inputStream = assetManager.open("foo.txt");
            if ( inputStream != null)
                Log.d(TAG, "It worked!");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Do not use InputStream is = assetManager.open("assets/foo.txt");
