  • 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. – greenapps Nov 08 '17 at 15:04
  • Mmmm you are also using a content scheme for a File object. Pretty confusing. Please remove the one or the other. – greenapps Nov 08 '17 at 15:06
  • Why is there a sharedpreferences and android-contentprovider tag? – greenapps Nov 08 '17 at 15:07

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