Files in java android

Question

Some questions about working with files on android. Is it possible to read files from project? Like from "src" directory. Also, how should I create files?

File file = new File("a.txt");
try {
    file.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Doesn't work here.

you can't read files from src ,res , assets or any other folder that in your development environment.if you want access src files simply use their class names, if you want use res files simply use R class that compiled for this reason. and don't put your plain texts or any other files into your src dir. they must be in assets folder — nariman amani, Oct 25 '18 at 20:24

There are two types of storage facility available for file saving "internal" and "external" storage To create a file internally

File file = new File(context.getFilesDir(), filename);

getFilesDir() returns a File representing an internal directory.
