I have an Android application used to transfer the .png image from asset folder of Android application to my local server. I need to get the path of image in asset folder, pls refer my code below,

String stringPath = "android.resource//"+getPackageName()+"/raw/sample/logout.png";             
File f = new File(stringPath);

If I use the above code I got "File not found exception". So how to take image path in asset folder?

Try:

file:///android_asset/raw/sample/logout.png

If you have a Context, you can use context.getAssets().open("raw/sample/logout.png") to open an InputStream on the file.

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

 Uri path = Uri.parse("file:///android_asset/raw/sample/logout.png");

 String newPath = path.toString();

  • Use toString() to convert a Uri to a String. Use Uri.parse() to convert a String to a Uri. – Sanu Apr 07 '14 at 07:39

You could put your mp3 files at : res/raw folder. 

MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.myringtone);
mediaPlayer.start();
