File path from assets in Android not recognized

Question

Do you know why it does not recognize my path?

Uri path = Uri.fromFile(new File("assets/test.xml"));  // tried with "file:///android_asset/test.xml"  
String fileIn = path.getPath();  
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileIn);

I get a FileNotFound error at the end, the fis variable.

Thank you very much.

getAssets() will return you the asset folder. You get read a file by

InputStream in = getAssets().open("test.xml");

if you are doing this our of Activity. Then you need to call context.getAssets();
