1. Step 1: Open in Name_Project-Name_Project.iml file.
2. See the line : option name="ASSETS_FOLDER_RELATIVE_PATH" value="/src/main/assets"
3. Step 2: Create a sub-folder "assets" in main folder.
4. Step 3: Put file in this folder.
5. Step 4: Load it. Done.

Answer 2

The correct answer didn't work for me exactly. This works:

Go to Project view and then go to app/src/main and create new directory assets

to load the file:

   InputStream is = getApplicationContext().getAssets().open("bla.txt");

or:

   InputStream is = context.getAssets().open("bla.txt");

and then convert it to string at any way you want, examples here

Answer 3

This code will work for you.It will fetch all data from file.

public class Quiz extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_quiz);
    try {
        PlayWithRawFiles();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                "Problems: " + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}// onCreate

public void PlayWithRawFiles() throws IOException {
    String str="";
    StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
    InputStream is = this.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.ashraf);
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
    if (is!=null) {
        while ((str = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            buf.append(str + "\n" );
        }
    }
    is.close();
   TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv1);
    tv.setText(buf.toString());


}//
        }
