where is internal file stored in an android project?

Question

In my project I have to make a text file and read particulars from that file. I need to know where I should place the file in directory so that I can successfully read it in my java code?

That should go in /assets/

AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
InputStream stream = null;
try {
    stream = assetManager.open("file.txt");
} catch (IOException e) {
    // handle
}
finally {
         if (stream != null) {
               try {
                   stream.close();
              } catch (IOException e) {}
         }
}

If they are files that your app downloads or creates, you should follow the guidelines for using internal storage or external storage, if it is included in the apk, then the file should go in /assets/ and you can access it using the AssetManager.
