title: AndroidStudio can't find CSV file. Tried Absolute File Path & Relative File Path
body: <p>I've created a simple Android app that displays text to the user.  </p>
  
  <p>Now I'm attempting to implement a CSVReader to retrieve text from a CSV file.  After hours of trying different things. </p>
  
  <p>I finally implemented an open source <code>CSVReader</code> (At least it's not giving me any compile errors anymore).  </p>
  
  <p>Now when I run the app, it crashes and I get a "file not found" exception.  Either I'm not placing my CSV file in the correct location, I'm not referencing the correct file path, or both.  </p>
  
  <p>I've tried using the absolute file path (ex. starting with my <code>C:/Users/Tim/AndroidStudioProjects/...</code>). </p>
  
  <p>I've also tried using a relative path starting with the Assets folder (ex. <code>"Assets/SOCIAL_POSTS.csv"</code>) and nothing I've tried has worked.  </p>
  
  <p>I've tried looking for similar Questions on Stack Overflow, and I've tried several variations of file paths and nothing has worked so far.  What do you think I should try next?</p>
  
  <p>Here is a <a href="https://github.com/timthetriplet89/InspiredQuestions" rel="nofollow">link</a> to this project on GitHub.  </p>
  
  <p>The code pointing to the CSV file is under </p>
  
  <pre><code>app &gt; src &gt; main &gt; java &gt; com &gt; example &gt; tim &gt; inspiredquestions
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The CSV file is called <code>SOCIAL_POSTS.csv</code>  and it is under </p>
  
  <pre><code>Assets &gt; SOCIAL_POSTS.csv
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Final note:  I've used StackOverflow for debugging help for a year now, but this is the first question I've asked.  </p>
  
  <p>Thank-you for your patience!  I'm trying to be as self-reliant as I can, but I'm going on a limb and asking for help. I'm sure this problem has a simple answer I'm overlooking.   </p>
