There is no path. Your asset is not a file. It is an entry in a ZIP archive, nothing more.

Your options are:

  1. Open an InputStream on the asset using open() from AssetManager, and pass that InputStream to the library

  2. Open an InputStream on the asset using open() from AssetManager, use that to copy the asset to some location (e.g., internal storage), then pass the path to the file that you just created

  3. Switch to a library that allows you to supply an InputStream or is Android-aware and supports assets directly
