Exception:-
09-18 12:24:19.889: WARN/System.err(2550): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /res/xml/persons.xml (No such file or directory)
Content stored within the /res/ folder is not within the regular filesystem. You need to access it from the resources. Call
getResourcesfrom your activity, and you can see the functions there to operate on resources. Depending on what are you calling, there may already be an overload that takes a resource id already. Note that it might make more sense to move your xml to the /raw/ folder instead of /xml/.You can open an InputStream to your resource file like this:
‘context’ would generaly be your activity.
