Question

Im getting an input stream, which is an mp3 in my raw folder, and then I am trying to write it back to the raw folder (I know this sounds stupid but I want to do it), but I get an error – file not found, myFile.mp3. Any ideas where I am going wrong?

try
        {
          File f=new File("android.resource//com.apps/raw/myFile.mp3");
          InputStream myRawResource = context.getActivity().getResources().openRawResource(mp3ID); 
          OutputStream out=new FileOutputStream(f);
          byte buf[]=new byte[1024];
          int len;
          while((len=myRawResource.read(buf))>0)
          out.write(buf,0,len);
          out.close();
          myRawResource.close();
    }
          catch (IOException e){    
              //error
              }

This can’t be done because resources, at runtime, are read-only, are stored in the APK, and would need to be compiled for inclusion in R at compile time.
