Is there a way to load an android asset without using the AssetManager?

I am using a separate java library (compiled into my application) to load some files. It requires a java URL. Is there anyway to specify in a URL an android Asset and have it load just like a file?

A webview can load the same asset using the following code. Is it parsing the path, determining it is an asset and loading it differently?

WebView wvHelp = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.wv_settings_help);
wvHelp.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/" + fileName);

    After a lot of research and trying other mechanisms, I believe the answer here is no. You have to use the AssetManager to load from the android assets.
