Creating File object (Android)

Question

Please help.

I'm trying to create a File object using a directory path. Here is my code

String dirPath = "/app/src/main/res/xml/sample.xml";
File source = new File(dirPath);
Log.v("file test", "exists " + source.exists());

But the Log-message says that source (File object from my code sample) does not exist. But it does exist, I see it in my project structure.

Resources are not files on the device; they are entries in the APK file that is your app. — CommonsWare, Jun 27 '17 at 21:13
Your `src` directory won't be present in the deployed application. — user207421, Jun 27 '17 at 22:23

sample.xml must be placed in assets-folder in order for you to be able to access it.
