The same points as *res/raw and assets:

1. The files in both directories will be stored intact in the APK package after packaging, and will not be compiled into binary.

Different points of *res/raw and assets:
The files in the 1.res/raw are mapped to the R.java file, and the files under the R.id.filename;assets folder are not mapped to R.java when accessed, and Assetmanager classes are required for access.
2.res/raw can not have a directory structure, and assets can have a directory structure, that is, assets directory can be re-established folder

* Read File resources:

1. Read the file resource under the Res/raw, and get the input stream for write operation in the following way

• InputStream is = Getresources (). Openrawresource (R.id.filename);

2. (1) Read the file resource under assets, and obtain the input stream for write operation by the following way

• Assetmanager am = null;
• am = Getassets ();
• InputStream is = am.open ("filename");

(2) If you use Videoview to play:

Videoview.setvideouri (Uri.parse ("android.resource://" + getpackagename () + "/" + R.raw.movie));
