Question

Answer 1

You cannot directly open files from assets folder. Instead, you need to copy the contents of your assets folder on an internal/external storage and later use the File path to open the file. In emulators, its easier for you to access the data folder of your apps. However, on a real non-rooted android device, its not possible due to security reasons.
