Step #1: Call getAssets() on any Context (e.g., your Activity) to get an AssetManager.

Step #2: Call open() on the AssetManager to get an InputStream on your desired asset.

Step #3: Use standard Java file I/O to copy from that InputStream to a FileOutputStream pointing at a spot on external storage.
