How can I get the URL of the raw folder? I do not want to access my asset via id but by path instead.

Uri video = Uri.parse("android.resource://");
Using this you can access the file in raw folder, if you want to access the file in asset folder use this URL...
file:///android_asset/filename
Make sure you don't add the extension to the filename. E.g. "/movie" not "/movie.mp4".
This is to find a file named video.mp4 inside raw folder:
String path = "android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.video;
Now u can do this:
getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.filename)
The point with using raw is to access with the id, for example R.raw.your_object_id. If you want to access to your resources with file path then you need to use assets.
Then you can use assets like this:
InputStream myInput = myContext.getAssets().open("MyFolder/" + "MyFile.db3");
InputStream myInpu1t = myContext.getAssets().open("MyFile_in_the_root.db3");
