what is OpenNLP's model file path? - android

I try to use OpenNLP in an Android application with eclipse, and I imported the 4 JARs into the libs folder.
It's probably a stupid question.. but where should I put the model files "en-pos-maxent.bin"? I can't find anything regarding the path anywhere
I try to run the code contains this line:
POSModel model = new POSModelLoader()
.load(new File("en-pos-maxent.bin"));
I tried putting the en-pos-maxent.bin inside a new folder within the project("tagger/en-pos-maxent.bin"), inside the libs folder, or simply give the path where the en-pos-maxent.bin is put when downloaded("Users/ariel/Downloads/en-pos-maxent.bin"), it always give me the error: POS Tagger model file does not exist path: (the path I typed in)
Could anybody help please?

When you use new File("filename") the file is expected to be in the current working directory, I don't think that's different on Android. You can use System.getProperty("user.dir") to get the current working directory. It's by default the directory you start the program from. You could also specify a full path like new File("/full/path/filename") instead.

In android the right way to add file to the application (inside APK) is to put into the assets folder. Then you can't get File object from assets folder but, you can create that File using a buffer or in you case just get it into the InputStream. For example if you will create models folder into the assets folder (assets/models), your code will look like this:
AssetManager am = getAssets();
InputStream inputStream = am.open("models/en-pos-maxent.bin");
POSModel posModel = new POSModel(inputStream);

Get some asset file path in APK

I use some class. That's constructor needs some file path that contains some files.
ex)
Komoran komoran = new Komoran("D:\program_project\lib");
Now I'm making android app. so I can't use absolute path (Because other people who download my app don't have that folder and files)
so I decide to use 'assets' folder that is maybe in APK file. So, final code is like below.
Komoran komoran = new Komoran("file:///android_asset");
but It seems like folder path is wrong(this class doesn't work). What I did wrong ?
This "file:///android_asset" path is used for applications which uses webview ex. cordova/phonegap. As it is part of resources because when Apk is created you can not use this path to access your assets folder. You have to work with context.getResources().getAssets().open("fileName")this code only.
Maybe u can add this code:
context.getResources().getAssets().open("fileName").
u will get a inputstream, and u can do something u want.
No need to use getResources.
You can use directly
context.getAssets().open("fileName").

(Android) Read matlab file from assets

I use the jmatIO library to read a .mat file. In plain java I can set the path to the matFileReader like this
MatFileReader mfr = new MatFileReader("/theta-phi_small_param5.mat");
and I can have access to all the .mat data. Inside the android i put the .mat file to the assets folder and I tried to access it like this
mfr = new MatFileReader("file:///assets/theta-phi.mat");
but it doesn't work. How can I get the path to the mat file inside the assets folder so to read it with the MatFileReader?
Does the MatFileReader accept an InputStream? If so you can do it like this:
InputStream in = getAssets().open("theta-phi.mat");
It might also work to use:
File file = new File("file:///android_asset/theta-phi.mat");
UPDATE: Since MatFileReader doesn't support InputStream and the File solution above doesn't work I guess your best bet is to copy the file from the Assets folder to your apps External/Internal storage and from there access the file.

FileNotFoundException in an Android app: can't find the route to copy the file

Good afternoon everyone,
I'm having a problem here with an CSV file that I wanna use to fill a dynamic table in Android.
I placed the file in the "data" folder of my emulator, and I did the following declaration to create my file variable:
file = new File("/data/Motors.csv");
I used a CSVReader class posted on another thread from this page (Link to the class) and also declared the following line to do the parse:
readerCSV = new CSVReader(new FileReader(file),';','"',0);
In the last line, the programmer to be able to create the variable has to send as parameters a Reader (Or a FileReader, it doesn't make a difference), the separator char, the quote char and the number of how many lines the CSV reader has to skip.
The problem comes that no matter in which directory (Not even in the root directory, which Java tells me that it's "/" through the file.getAbsolutePath(); method) it always gets to the point when the program throws the FileNotFoundException and I'm getting a bit frustrated because I have 2 days already with this problem.
If someone could please help me to get a bit of orientation of what I should do to get the file from the right directory... It would be a lot of help and I can go further with the code I have to finish.
Many thanks in advance!!!!
EDIT
I found a solution to open my file:
I have used 2 file variables: one gets the rout of the External Storage Directory (see first answer in the following link) and the other is declared as a new file, like the following lines in the code:
route = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
file = new File(route,"Motors.csv");
Later I used again the CSV reader class that I found, where the first parameter is from the FileReader type (Sorry #Rajesh, but I couldn't use your alternative because you passed a FileDescription parameter from the AssetManager to the CSV reader class and then I had to change the whole class and that didn't help my problem at all).
Now I don't get the exception at all!!
There are various Storage Options in Android. Files can be stored in internal and external storages. If the CSV file is a static resource, you could think of bundling the file in the "assets" folder of your project.
If you are using the "assets" route, the following code segment can get you a CSVReader.
AssetManager am = getAssets();
AssetFileDescriptor afd = am.openFd ("Motors.csv");
FileDescriptor fd = afd.getFileDescriptor();
readerCSV = new CSVReader(fd, ';','"',0);
The above code snippet doesn't perform error/exception handling, please remember to take care of that. You need to copy the Motors.csv file to the "assets" folder within the project.

File not found issue in Android

I need to access myfile.txt file using FileReader in Android , please suggest me where to add the text file in Eclipse. I tried it adding it in Resource and Asset but I am getting File not found issue.
FileReader fr = new FileReader("myfile.txt");
Even
File ff = new File("myfile.txt");
File Supports only the below listed parameters
FileReader Supports only the below listed parameters
Note: I want solution for this issue , only with FileReader or File
The directory would be /res/raw/ this is where you put all your extra resources.
you can refer to it using getResources().openRawResource(resourceName)
and check here Android how to get access to raw resources that i put in res folder?
EDIT:
how can i edit the text files in assets folder in android
in short
the easiest way would be to copy the file to external directory then do your stuff there
link is here
Android: How to create a directory on the SD Card and copy files from /res/raw to it?
One thing to mention - prior to 2.3 the file size in the assets cannot exceed 1MB.
hope it helps abit
That's how I obtain my file from the SD card, perhaps this can be some use to you.
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
File options = new File(getAppDirectory(), "portal.xml");
}
The getAppDirectory method used in the bit of code looks like this :
private String getAppDirectory() {
return new String(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()
+ "/foldername/foldername/");
}
After this bit of code I also make sure the file exists and what not before I attempt to read from it.

android: Check the existence of a file in the application

I have few html files in assets folder of my application. My application loads these files depending on the device language. When I check for the existance of the file it say does not exist, but when I load that file using browser.loadUrl(filename), it loads it fine.
Following code will help you to understand my problem:
String filename="file:///android_asset/actualfilemname.html";
File f = new File(filename);
if(!f.exist){
filename = "file:///android_asset/newfile.html";[Everytime it loads this file even though I have actualfilename.html in the folder]
}
browser.loadUrl(filename);
[it loads the newfile.html but not actualfilename.html]
You can't use File for resources. You'll need to use the AssetManager for that.
(In the off-chance that File does handle resources, which I don't think it does, you'll have to convert the path to a URI first, for example using URI.create(). File(String) expects a path, not a URI.)
Is this the exact code you are using? you probably want to be calling f.exists() not filename.exist().
Edit: try working with the AssetManager instead of hard coding your file path. My best guess is that the file path you are using is not exactly how it supposed to be.
