Thanks Pskink!
Per your suggestion, I have created a content provider and tried this:
@Override
public AssetFileDescriptor openAssetFile1(Uri uri, String mode) {
String fileName = "asset_text_orig.txt";
ParcelFileDescriptor parcel = openAssetFile(fileName,
ParcelFileDescriptor.MODE_READ_ONLY);
return parcel;
}
there is a conflict as parcel type is ParcelFileDescriptor, but I
need to return AssetFileDescriptor. How do I resolve that.
And once this is corrected? How do I read this?
Thanks.
