You should try org.appache.commons.io.IOUtils.toString(InputStream is) to get file content as string. There you can pass InputStream object which you will get from

getAssets().open("xml2json.txt")

in your Activity.

To get String use this:

String xml = IOUtils.toString((getAssets().open("xml2json.txt")));
