You can open an input stream using AssetsManager.

InputStream input = getAssets().open("origin");
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(input, "UTF-8");

getAssets() is a method of the Context class.

Also note that you shouldn't recreate a buffer of characters (buf = new char[1024], the last line of your cycle).
