The directory would be /res/raw/ this is where you put all your extra resources. you can refer to it using getResources().openRawResource(resourceName) and check here Android how to get access to raw resources that i put in res folder?

EDIT:

how can i edit the text files in assets folder in android in short the easiest way would be to copy the file to external directory then do your stuff there link is here Android: How to create a directory on the SD Card and copy files from /res/raw to it?

One thing to mention - prior to 2.3 the file size in the assets cannot exceed 1MB.

hope it helps abit

That's how I obtain my file from the SD card, perhaps this can be some use to you.

String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();

if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
        File options = new File(getAppDirectory(), "portal.xml");
}

The getAppDirectory method used in the bit of code looks like this :

private String getAppDirectory() {
    return new String(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() 
            + "/foldername/foldername/");
}

After this bit of code I also make sure the file exists and what not before I attempt to read from it.
