path to Assets to string?

For example, this would be the path to a file on the external memory...

String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/myApp/face.jpg";

But is there also such a path to the Asset folder?

Cheers!

P.S.

"file:///android_asset/1.png"

Gives a file not found.

The path to an asset is 

file:///android_asset/[path_under_the_asset_folder]/your_file.ext

If you are getting a FileNotFoundException, your [path_under_the_asset_folder] is likely to be wrong.

In case you just need the path for accessibility-reasons you can use

AssetFileDescriptor descriptor = getAssets().openFd("file.txt");
FileReader reader = new FileReader(descriptor.getFileDescriptor());
