I’m trying to read an xml file which I plan to include as part

  • 0

I’m trying to read an xml file which I plan to include as part of my mobile application. I’ve created a folder called "XML" and added a file called "test.xml". The files build action is set to content. When I run the app it crashes on trying to find the file. Here is the code I’m using:

_path = "XML/test.xml";
doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(_path);

Here is the error I get:

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException has been thrown.

Could not find a part of the path "/XML/test.xml"

Do I need to register the directory/folder somehow? Thanks for any advice, I’m sure I’ve just missed something simple…

    Do you mean that you’d created XML directory inside of your project?

    If you want to include XML to your APK – one of the best ways will be to create /res/xml/file.xml and read it inside application with Resources class.
    Please have a look at this thread – maybe you’ll find it helpful. Open XML file from res/xml in Android
    Good luck
