Answer 1

U can try this for loading files from Assets folder..
Consider there is ringtone folder inside assets folder then use in your activity

AssetManager assetManager = this.getResources().getAssets();
String[] files = null;
try {
files = assetManager.list("ringtone"); //ringtone is folder name
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "ERROR: " + e.toString());
}

so u get the files from assets folder next get file name and pass files names to your list

To Play Audio From Raw Folder:

mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.song.mp3);

To Play Audio From Asset Folder:

AssetFileDescriptor afd = getAssets().openFd("Song.mp3");
player = new MediaPlayer();
player.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor());
player.prepare();
player.start();
