Thanks Mark. But I don't want to use the assets directory, since it's not my project. I am just giving the developers a jar with an html file inside. Of course I can give them two files, a jar to put in their classpath and a html file to put in their assets directory, but i want to avoid that. Anyhow I found a solution to read the file. I am reading the apk file using getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo(getPackageName(), 0).sourceDir; And then by using java.util.zip.ZipFile I retrieve the html file, and copy it to context.getFilesDir().getPath().
