android file path assets

I'm doing:

FileReader fin = new FileReader("file:///android_asset/myFile.txt");

in an Android project and many variations. At runtime I get a file not found exception. The file is present and correct in the assets folder, so my path must be wrong.

What is the absolute path I need here?

AssetFileDescriptor descriptor = getAssets().openFd("myfile.txt");
FileReader reader = new FileReader(descriptor.getFileDescriptor());

Try using the above with FileDescriptors. Seems to be the most foolproof way I've found to gather asset paths.
