Answer 1

Using Kotlin, you can do the following to read a file from assets in Android:

try {
    val inputStream:InputStream = assets.open("helloworld.txt")
    val inputString = inputStream.bufferedReader().use{it.readText()}
    Log.d(TAG,inputString)
} catch (e:Exception){
    Log.d(TAG, e.toString())
}
