Finding file problem (File Not Found Exception)

[Marat]

Hello,
I'm trying to develop a small application, where I was given a JSON file, and I have to extract data from it. As I understood a JSON object takes a string argument, thus I'm trying to access a file and write the data from it to a string.
I've placed that file in a "JSON file" folder, and when I try to read the file, it throws me a file not found exception.
I've tried several ways to find a path to that file, but every attempt was a for vain.
It might be that I'm extracting the path wrong, or might be something else, please help me.
Thanks in advance.
here is the code:


try
{
path = Environment.getRootDirectory().getCanonicalPath();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use File | Settings | File Templates.
}

File jFile = new File(path);

String jString = readFromFile(jFile);
