I have an Android application used to transfer the .png image from asset folder of Android application to my local server. I need to get the path of image in asset folder, pls refer my code below,

String stringPath = "android.resource//"+getPackageName()+"/raw/sample/logout.png";             
File f = new File(stringPath);

If I use the above code I got "File not found exception". So how to take image path in asset folder?

Try:

file:///android_asset/raw/sample/logout.png

If you have a Context, you can use context.getAssets().open("raw/sample/logout.png") to open an InputStream on the file.
