    ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int i;
    try {
    i = inputStream.read();
        while (i != -1)
        {
            byteArrayOutputStream.write(i);
            i = inputStream.read();

    } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    }
        return byteArrayOutputStream.toString();
} 

Answer 1

Your readTxt method is wrong.
You are returning a String representation of your ByteArrayOutputStream and not the actual String.

Try reading the input stream into a ByteArrayInputStream and then getting the byte array from it and on that return new String(byteArray);

    private String readTxt(){               
InputStream inputStream = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.info);
        InputStreamReader isReader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);

        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(isReader);

        StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
        String line = null;
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
        {
            buffer.append(line);
            buffer.append("\n");
        }
        buffer.deleteCharAt(buffer.length() - 1); // Delete the last new line char
        // TODO: Don't forget to close all streams and readers
        return buffer.toString();   
    }
