Question

I have problems with adding a non-android xml file init.xml to android project in Eclipse. This file is used to initialize some simulation process, which is not connected with android. Eclipse doesn’t recognize it if simply put it into project directory and write something like

File file = new File("init.xml");

Should I declare the file in some specific way or put it into other directory?

Answer 1

You can put this file inside the assets folder and then you can access this file by using AssetManager and getAssets().

AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
InputStream instream = assetManager.open("init.xml");
