I create a class called dictionary which extends InputMethodService. I want to read a text file which is in assets folder. But I cannot read the text file

So, I write two print statement to check the code, when I run the below code

        System.out.println("before ");
        AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
        System.out.println("after ");
        InputStream is = assetManager.open( startingLetter+".txt");

output is "before" only

  • After I did that there was an exception @TamirAbutbul (I/System.out: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.AssetManager android.content.Context.getAssets()' on a null object reference) – chathura kapugedara Apr 07 '19 at 12:47

Try this code

try {
    System.out.println("before ");
    AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
    System.out.println("after ");
    BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(assetManager.open
            (".txt")));
}catch(IOException e){
    exception.printStackTrace();
}
