Question

My application includes some .txt files that it needs to read.

I used to read them using the Inputstream:

Class c = this.getClass();
   InputStream is = c.getResourceAsStream("/fileName.txt");

for efficiency reasons I needed to read them using the RandomAccessFile.

Because I can’t use the c.getResourceAsStream() I need to find another way to get the files.

I tried the following code:

Class c = this.getClass();
URL fileURL = c.getResource("/fileName.txt");
File file =new File(fileURL.getPath());

or

File file =new File(fileURL.toURI());

but wasn’t able to locate the file.

I think I’m missing something fundamental, can someone please help me?

Answer 1

Where do you have your file initially? Is it in raw folder, assets folder…?
