Android: How to detect a directory in the assets folder?

Question

I\'m retrieving files like this

String[] files = assetFiles.list(\"EngagiaDroid\"); 

How can we know whether it is a file or is a director

You can also try this, it works for me, since you cannot rely solely on .list()

public static boolean isDirectory(Context context, String path) throws IOException {
    //If list returns any entries, than the path is a directory
    String[] files = context.getAssets().list(path);
    if (files != null && files.length > 0) {
        return true;
    } else {
        try {
            //If we can open a stream then the path leads to a file
            context.getAssets().open(path);
            return false;
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            //.open() throws exception if it's a directory that you're passing as a parameter
            return true;
        }
    }
}
