Accessing assets stored in AAR from application

Question

I have a library project which includes some TFLite models. I want to be able to distribute the library and include the models in the AAR's assets folder. I've put everything in the assets folder and when inspecting the resulting AAR, I see that the models exists.

My question is, how can I access these models? either from the library itself (preferably) or from the application that uses it?

If I look try and access the assets the normal way for an application

AssetManager am = context.getAssets();
am.list(assetFolder)

I get an empty list.

I saw many posts about including assets in an android AAR library but none that referred to how to actually use these assets, so am I missing something very basic here?

EDIT This is how the AAR is structured

Inside the assets folder I have a resources folder which contains the models so

- AAR
-- assets
--- resources
---- model

I tried different values for assetFolder in the code, /, resources, all gave empty lists

Answer 1

Try with:

am.list("resources/model")

Just tested with aar and it works. Be careful, list returns directories and files in the specified path, it doesn't show files in subfolders
