What is the path to your apps "assets" folder in Android?

Question

I am developing an Android App and would like to have a video file (mp4) bundled inside the .apk so that when the app is launched I can play a short intro video.

Unfortunately I'm having trouble figuring out where in my project folder I should place this video file, and also how to access it (the path to the file).

I am using videoView.setVideoPath();

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

You should put it in /res/raw and access it with

getResources().openRawResource(id)

Answer 2

Put it in res\raw folder. Then in code use this uri: "android.resource://com.mypackagename/raw/myvideosample"
