Answer 1

You can package the xml file in assets/ directory inside your apk. With that, you can use

AssetManager assets = context.getAssets();
InputStream in = assets.open("myfile.xml");

If your file just contains labels, or strings, you can save it in put it in res/values/strings.xml inside your apk. In this case you can access the string values using the android generated R class

If you have a custom file (with custom structure) you can use DOM, SAX, or Xml Pull to read those files. e.g.

DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(in);
