I am not able to find a text file on my local Windows computer to open it in Kotlin - Android Studio. I tried placing the file in an assets folder and I tried various path variations but nothing so far. Some code examples use either the application.open command or something that requires Context. I don't know what to import to enable those commands. Any help would be appreciated.

  • How do you intend for the text content to get to the Android device? Is your intention to package it with the app? – CommonsWare Mar 18 '21 at 20:53
  • Good question. I would like the file to be in an assets folder within the app. However, I am open to any solution at this point. – David Campbell Mar 19 '21 at 20:07
  • "I would like the file to be in an assets folder within the app" -- then do that. Use `AssetManager` and its `open()` function to get an `InputStream` on the asset. You get an `AssetManager` by calling `getAssets()` on any `Context`.
