I want to read with "dirasset".
I checked witih File.Exists(File.DirAssets,****
But it returns always FALSE;

I tried debug and release mode. Result is same.

I use diffrent sample from FORUM.

I need first time dirasset folder.

#Region Project Attributes
    #MainFormWidth: 600
    #MainFormHeight: 600
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    Private fx As JFX
    Private MainForm As Form
End Sub

Sub AppStart (Form1 As Form, Args() As String)
    MainForm = Form1
    ShowSplashScreen
    Wait For Splash_Complete
    MainForm.Show
End Sub

Sub ShowSplashScreen
    Dim sp As Form
    sp.Initialize("sp", 600, 600)
    sp.SetFormStyle("TRANSPARENT")
    sp.BackColor = fx.Colors.Transparent
    Log(File.Exists(File.DirAssets, "B4R_512_512_transparent.png"))
    CSSUtils.SetBackgroundImage(sp.RootPane, File.DirAssets, "B4R_512_512_transparent.png")
    sp.Show
    sp.RootPane.Alpha = 0
    sp.RootPane.SetAlphaAnimated(500, 1)
    Wait For (sp.RootPane) sp_AnimationCompleted
    Sleep(3000)
    sp.RootPane.SetAlphaAnimated(1000, 0)
    Wait For (sp.RootPane) sp_AnimationCompleted
    sp.Close
    CallSubDelayed(Me, "Splash_Complete")
End Sub

'Return true to allow the default exceptions handler to handle the uncaught exception.
Sub Application_Error (Error As Exception, StackTrace As String) As Boolean
    Return True
End Sub

I think @Tayfur is referring to the fact File.DirAssets only returns the string "AssetsDir" and not the actual folder path, so File.Exists always fails..

As a workaround

Log(File.Exists(File.DirAssets, "B4R_512_512_transparent.png"))

can be written as

Log(File.Exists("../files/", "B4R_512_512_transparent.png"))

Thank you for tips.

Check the documentation of File.Exists: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=file.exists&product=b4j

It doesn't work with the assets folder. However you should know which files were added as only you can add these files.

The workaround suggested above will not work in release mode.
