Android: path of assets folder for File()?

android, assets, directory, java

Solution

Assets and resources are accessible using file:///android_asset and file:///android_res.

But in this case you will want to do something like this :

Resources res = getResources()
AssetManager am = res.getAssets();
String fileList[] = am.list(dirFrom);

if (fileList != null) {   
   for ( int i = 0;i<fileList.length;i++) {
        Log.d("",fileList[i]); 
    }
}

Problem

I have some files in the assets folder of my project, and I want to list them, so I put this in my code: ``` File dir = new File("com.packagename/assets/fonts"); File[] fileList = dir.listFiles(); ``` Which path should I put to make it work? I want it so users could install new fonts (I don`t know how to do this yet) so I need to list all the fonts in the folder, including post-installed fonts. If there is any other solutions, please share.
