wow. that was dumb of me!! Thanks for pointing it out.
so I changed it to:
@Override
public AssetFileDescriptor openAssetFile(Uri uri, String mode) {
String fileName = "asset_text_orig.txt"; // hardcoding the
file name for now
AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
AssetFileDescriptor afd = assetManager.openFd(fileName);
return afd;
}
and it WORKS!!
Thank you VERY much for your help and indulgence!
