title: Android Studio, using Assets Folder
body: <p>So, I've seen many posts on this, but none has helped. I want to work with the assets folder, for organizational purposes. The images below show where the 'assets' folder is, along with the app.imi options of where it should be. I have tested this, and in the >exploded-aar/com../appcompat-v7/19.1.0/assets  ... the files inside this seem to work. I can call on the .mp3 file and load and play it correctly (Though a few times it did not recognize it. Even when it was inside a folder, inside of the directory.)
  In the src/main/assets folder, all the files are ignored. Is there a specific way I have to call this? In other words, must I also link the actual folder it is it? src/main/assets/music to load up the riseofcc.mp3?</p>

  <p>I do not have 10 reputation to post images, so sorry for only links.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:Also I am using Android Studio 0.5.7</p>
  
  <p>ANSWERED:
  Thanks for Xavier Duchrohet for explaining exploded-aar is for the application's dependencies. I have learned that when calling upon a file inside your asset's folder using the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
  InputStream inputStream = null;
  AssetFileDescriptor descriptor = assetManager.openFd("sound/explosion.ogg");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>You must include the folder's parent inside the arguement.
  Android Studio's app.iml has the asset's directory (src/main/assets) inside of its configuration's options.</p>
