Solution

  • You can access the application's raw asset files by calling APIs provided by AssetManager.

    AssetManager assetManager = context.getAssets();
String[] files = assetManager.list("");  // "" means asset root folder

    After you get the String array that contains all the assets at the root folder, you can pass the array to your RecyclerView.Adapter and bind it to your RecyclerView.ViewHolder in onBindViewHolder.
