You cannot reach a file in assets in that way. Please read the posts of today as some hours ago this question was asked too. Well kind off. – Duax

Mmmm you are also using a content scheme for a File object. Pretty confusing. Please remove the one or the other. – Duax

Why is there a sharedpreferences and android-contentprovider tag? – Duax

Answer 1

You would need a ContentProvider that is capable of sharing content from assets. My StreamProvider offers this, or you could write your own.
