I have a requirement to read a text or image file via java in android. The text and image file is in the same directory of a sub directory inside a java package, like;

handler    <---- Package
MyClass.java
-----/imgs
---------/test.jpg

Now how to get access of test.jpg file?

I tried;

URL url = OneOfYourClass.class.getResource("handler/imgs/test.jpg");

And

URL path = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("imgs/test.png");

None of those worked. Is it permission issue? Does images goes with the apk when I installed the app? Or I am doing wrong something?

I tried for an hours, any help will be great for me.

Use `assets` instead . – ADM Mar 31 '18 at 15:08
Yes that can be done, what I am trying is it possible at all? – KOUSIK MANDAL Mar 31 '18 at 15:08
You need permission from android 6.0 and above – Raunak Verma Mar 31 '18 at 15:09
