getResourceAsStream returning null despite called file being in same dir as class getResourceAsStream is called in

Question

I imported an Android sample coded by Amazon involving AWS\'s DynamoDB which I got from here and was presumably written for Eclipse: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-andro

Answer 1

Created a dir called resources under /src/main/ and placed AwsCredentials.properties there and used

properties.load( PropertyLoader.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream( "AwsCredentials.properties" ) );

instead of

properties.load( this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("AwsCredentials.properties" ) );

Not as elegant as I would like, but it works.
