Where to keep text files in Android project in eclipse

I am trying to find out, where should I keep text files in my Android project and how to refer their location in the code.

I kept my files under the main project directory and referred in the file as /sample.txt. but this did not work开发者_StackOverflow社区.

I would store it in the assets folder and reference it by using something like

Activity.getAssets().open(sample.txt)

You should keep them in /assets dir. Access them later with AssetManager.
