Hi everyone in the house

Is it possible to read text files into an alert dialog builder from assets/raw folder

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(
KneelingDown.this);

// set title
alertDialogBuilder.setTitle("My Title");
alertDialogBuilder.setIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
// set dialog message
alertDialogBuilder
.setMessage("Read text files from assets/raw folder in here ")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// if this button is clicked, close
// current activity

}
});

// create alert dialog
AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();

// show it
alertDialog.show();

Kindly help

Yes, indeed it is possible. Read the text file and pass the string data to the AlertDialog.

See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/AssetManager.html[^] for getting access to a resource in the assets folder. Once you have the file then reading the data is straightforward.
