Android XML file parsing file not found exception -

i'm new @ android , trying local xml file , data , display .

here's code:

public string getxmldata() {     documentbuilderfactory builderfactory = documentbuilderfactory.newinstance();     documentbuilder builder = null;     try     {         builder = builderfactory.newdocumentbuilder();         inputstream = getassets().open("words.xml");         document document = builder.parse(new fileinputstream("c:\\users\\ocean\\androidstudioprojects\\deneme1project\\deneme1\\build\\res\\assets\\words.xml"));         element rootelement = document.getdocumentelement();          nodelist nodes = rootelement.getchildnodes();          for(int i=0; i<nodes.getlength(); i++){             node node = nodes.item(i);              if(node instanceof element)             {                 //a child element process                 element child = (element) node;                 title = child.getattribute("title");                 string author= child.getattribute("author");                 string year= child.getattribute("year");             }         }         return title;     }     catch (exception e)     {         e.printstacktrace();         return e.tostring();     }  } 

my first question should put xml file? inside res created folder , named assets put inside have rs , r folders :s file not found exception (file there :p)

this points local computer, when deploy apk can't reference.

document document = builder.parse(new fileinputstream("c:\\users\\ocean\\androidstudioprojects\\deneme1project\\deneme1\\build\\res\\assets\\words.xml")); 

try instead:

getassets().open("words.xml"); 

where words.xml in assets directory. work activity, or if have context can call getassets() on context, i.e. context.getassets().
