How to read local xml file is resource folder as a input stream in android?
I am trying to get input stream from something like this. InputSource myInputSource = new InputSource(activity.getResources().openRawResource(com.MYCLass.R.xml.programs)); myXMLReader.parse(myInputSource); and then call parse on the parser instance i Created. Some how i get nothing. Works fine if I use a server XML.... Put the xml file into /res/raw folder . It looks like openRawResource opens resources from that folder only. You can also try getResources().getXml(com.MYCLass.R.xml.programs); which will return you an instance of XML parser. A piece of code taken from @Krupa InputStream object
