How can I get the URL of the raw folder? I do not want to access my asset via id but by path instead.

A Generic 100% Working Solution

Step 1. Create an Extensions.kt file

Step 2. Add the below function in Extensions.kt

fun Activity.getRawFolderPath(video: Int) =
Uri.parse("android.resource://" + this.getPackageName().toString() + "/" + video)

and call it from Activity like: getRawFolderPath(R.raw.video)

or from Fragment Like: requireActivity().getRawFolderPath(R.raw.video)

Uri video = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.cpt.sample/raw/filename");

Using this you can access the file in raw folder, if you want to access the file in asset folder use this URL...

file:///android_asset/filename

Make sure you don't add the extension to the filename. E.g. "/movie" not "/movie.mp4".

Now u can do this: 

getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.filename)

This is to find a file named video.mp4 inside raw folder:

    String path = "android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.video;

The point with using raw is to access with the id, for example R.raw.your_object_id. If you want to access to your resources with file path then you need to use assets.

Then you can use assets like this:

InputStream myInput = myContext.getAssets().open("MyFolder/" + "MyFile.db3");
InputStream myInpu1t = myContext.getAssets().open("MyFile_in_the_root.db3");
