How to read a local (res/raw) file line by line?

Question

I have a text file in my res/raw directory. I want to read the file line by line, but FileReader and BufferedReader fail, because of Android's security restriction. How else can I do it?

Answer 1

getResources().openRawResource() returns an InputStream that should be usable for line-by-line reading.

Answer 2

A DataInputStream allows you to do a readLine (along with a host of other operations); see DataInputStream Reference.
