XML : Reading XML working in my computer but not in my Android phone

Following code works perfect in my computer but when I try to run it in my Android Phone, it does not work.

  string path = @"Assets\Layout\XML\file" + select.ToString() + @".xml";  XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<Name>));  StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(path);  List<Name> listnames = (List<Name>)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(sr);    

How can I make the code work in my Android Phone?
