Missing file through getAssets

I have a problem connected with reading a file in Java Application. Please help me as I'm trying to do it for four days and my CS teacher is not into Android Apps. Also any of the tutorials read does not help me.
I have a following app:

String line = null;
String content,a,b,c,d,correct;

while ((line=reader.readLine()) != null)
{
st= new StringTokenizer(line, ",");
id = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());

}});
questionButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
showQuestion();
}});
}
public void showQuestion()
{
// if(currentQuestion == questions.length)
// currentQuestion =0;
questionView.setText(questions[0].toString());
answerView.setText("");
answerText.setText("");
currentQuestion++;
}
public boolean isCorrect(String answer)
{
return (answer.equalsIgnoreCase(questions[currentQuestion].getCorrect()));
}
public void checkRight()
{
// String right
}
public void checkAnswer()
{
String answer = questions[currentQuestion].getCorrect();
if(isCorrect(answer))
answerView.setText("You're right!");
else
answerView.setText("Sorry, the correct answer is "+answers[currentQuestion]);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_activity_billionaires, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
It is taken from Java application I was writing previously (that is why so many comments). How I can access the fileName in Android App? I was trying InputStream, get Assets, etc. but It does not work or I am doing it improperly. Currently it is throwing NullPointerException.

The error says you're getting a NPE (Null Pointer Exception) at com.bachosz.billionaires.MainActivityBillionaires. You need to look at the code section that you use to call that activity. (it is not in your code above - or else we don't know which line with the given information)
Another thing you have to make sure is that you have the appropriate context.
AssetManager assetManage = appContext.getAssets();
String[] filelist = assetManage.list("");

First you should clean up your code, at least to show it here where we don't know what are you doing.
It's easier to understand.
Why are you using assets? In Android the most common way to access resources is the .../res/raw folder.
It makes a reference of the file in the autogenerated R.class so you can access it anywhere.
Make sure your filename is lowercase and has no spaces. If you haven't raw folder under res, create it manually.
Try this:
InputStream inputStream = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.YOURFILE);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
String line = reader.readLine();
while (line != null)
{
// Read file.
}

Firstly: copy YOURFILE to assets folder.
Then, AssetManager assetManage = getAssets();
Then,
InputStream myInput = null;
try {
myInput = assetManager.open("YOURFILE");
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
And finally BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(myInput));
follow the above code step by step.

Debugging AsyncTask - strange behaviour, debug jumping into the code

I'm debugging an Asynctask that simply downloads a file: here the code:
public class AsyncDownloadFilesTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, Boolean> {
public AsyncResponse<Boolean> delegate=null;
protected Boolean doInBackground(String... params) {
android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();
try {
URL url = new URL(params[0]);
int count;
String fileName = new String(params[1]);
URLConnection connessione = url.openConnection();
connessione.connect();
int lenghtOfFile = connessione.getContentLength();
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
long total = 0;
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
total += count;
publishProgress((int)((total*100)/lenghtOfFile));
output.write(data, 0, count);
}
output.flush();
output.close();
input.close();
return Boolean.valueOf(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
return null;
}
}
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
delegate.processFinish(result);
}
}
I obtain a strange behaviour: when execution arrive to return
Boolean.valueOf(true);
it skips to
return null;
into the catch block, but Exception e is null, and then debugger goto line 1 of AsyncTask, that is simply
package com.example.compa.asynctasks;
Then execution goes on (executing onPostExecute method) and, of course, returned result is null
What happens? Why debug jump in this way?
Task download correctly the file.
Here code of the Activity that instantiates and calls Async Task
package com.example.compa.activities;
import android.app.Activity;
import ...
public class CoverActivity extends Activity implements AsyncResponse<Boolean>{
ImageView coverImg;
Drawable d;
CompassesFileManager cfm;
int coverId;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_cover);
coverId = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("coverId");
cfm = new CompassesFileManager(this);
ImageView coverImg = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.cover_image);
d = cfm.getCover(coverId);
if (d!=null){
coverImg.setImageDrawable(d);
} else {
AsyncDownloadFilesTask task = new AsyncDownloadFilesTask();
task.delegate = this;
task.execute(cfm.getCoverURL(coverId), cfm.getCoverFileName(coverId));
}
}
#Override
public void processFinish(Boolean output) {
if (output){
Drawable d = cfm.getCover(coverId);
coverImg.setImageDrawable(d);
} else {
finish();
}
}
}

Thank you

I don't have enough points to comment, but it looks like delegate is null in your onPostExecute
delegate.processFinish(result); // delegate is null
if that's not the case, you're code stub above doesn't define it though.

I solved on my own.
1st, I move call to the Async Task in the onStart() method, instead of onCreate()
2nd, I made a mistake, in change line
ImageView coverImg = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.cover_image);
in
coverImg = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.cover_image);
to avoid a stupid null pointer (I already declared coverImg)!
Anyway, I still don't understand debug's behaviour, but I solved my problem.
Thank you everybody

From this line, it seems you are filling nodeList in an AsyncTask, but instead of waiting for it to be filled, you start parsing it immediately. Make sure to start parsing from onPostExecuted in your LongOperation.
BTW, it would not be a bad idea to also do the parsing in the background.

The first time your app is created there is no intent calling it. So Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras(); causes the NullPointerException.
Enclose the statement in a try block.
try
{
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
}
catch(Exception E){
//do nothing
}
But this isn't the right way to do it.
If this activity is going to be called again, I suggest you use onNewIntent() method and make this activity singleTop.

Cannot Resolve NullPointerException On Service Class

I have been tasked to resolve an issue for a group project at my university however I cannot seem to resolve an issue with a NullPointerException in my service class. Our goal is to create a script which continually monitors the android history until it finds a match - then executes a warning class if the service class finds a match in the browser history. The issue occurs on line 71 (of service class) however I do not know how to resolve the issue.
Service Class:
public class Service_class extends Service {
String Dirty1 = "www.pornhub.com";
String Dirty2 = "www.playboy.com";
String Dirty3 = "www.playboy.com";
String Dirty4 = "www.playboy.com";
String Dirty5 = "www.playboy.com";
String Dirty6 = "www.playboy.com";
String Dirty7 = "www.playboy.com";
String Dirty8 = "www.playboy.com";
String Dirty9 = "www.playboy.com";
String Dirty10 = "www.playboy.com";

Your method managedQuery() returns null
private Cursor managedQuery(Uri bookmarksUri, String[] projection,
Object object, Object object2, Object object3) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}}
So when you try to execute a method on null you will get a NullPointerException.
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(android.provider.Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI,
projection, null, null, null); // cursor will be null
String urls = "";
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) { // this will be NPE
Make your managedQuery() method return an instantiated Cursor object.
