File not found Exception by reading a JSON File

I wrote some code to read a JSON File from SD Card.

For the first I save the Path for my appfolder. 

Boolean isMounted = Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED);
    if (isMounted) {
        File Dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "MyIdea");
        //creat folder if don't exist
        if (!Dir.exists()) {
            if (!Dir.mkdir()) {
                Log.d("MyIdea", "failed to create");
            }
        }
        //set the absolutPath to appPathString
        appDataPath = Dir.getAbsolutePath();
    }

After that I put the config.json into the folder and want to read the JSON File from SD-Card with this method. 

public String loadJSONFromAsset() {
    String json = null;
    try {

        InputStream is = getAssets().open(appDataPath + "/config.json");

        int size = is.available();

        byte[] buffer = new byte[size];

        is.read(buffer);

        is.close();

        json = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");


    } catch (IOException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
    return json;

}

After that i want to get Data from the File 

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(loadJSONFromAsset());

But if I run the code through the Debugger I get the message on ex:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/MyIdea/config.json

The file is not in your assets folder but still you are using getAssets. The file in the sdcard can be opened just like any normal file in java.

Try this,

public String loadJSON() {
    String json = "";
    try {
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(appDataPath + "/config.json"));
        String line;
        StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            buffer.append(line);
        }
        reader.close();
        json = buffer.toString();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    return json;
}

Also make sure you have the following permission in Manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Do not create a buffer with size same as your file size. If the file is a large file, there is a high chance that you will run into an OutOfMemoryException.
