Question

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….

Answer 1

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 = this.getResources()
                     .openRawResource(R.raw.fileName);
