java - What is the path of the base folder for android projects? -

i have project in android studio , want read data file, want avoid using absolute path. want write similar file("filename.extension"); without /../folder stuff.

so question in hierarchy folder?

edit: trying read file outside activity. have subclass need data trying read there.

place file in asset folder, access via assetmanager

assetmanager assetmanager = getresources().getassets(); inputstream inputstream = assetmanager.open("myfile.txt"); //to content of file string bufferedreader reader = new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(inputstream)); stringbuilder out = new stringbuilder(); string line; while ((line = reader.readline()) != null) {      out.append(line); } string mystring=out.tostring(); reader.close();
