Reading a textfile in android studio

Hi I'm currently having issues with reading in a file in android studio. The file I want to read in is just a simple text file called test. This is the path of the file C:\Users\John\Documents\MadLibs\app\src\main\res\raw\test.txt. Here's what I'm trying:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.test)));

I'm relitively new to android studio and really don't understand how to read in files. I assumed its just like java however everything I've tried fails. Anyone have any ideas?

Solution

  • Reading a textfile in android studio

            FileInputStream fileInputStream=openFileInput("file.txt");
        InputStreamReader InputRead= new InputStreamReader(fileInputStream);

        char[] inputBuffer= new char[READ_BLOCK_SIZE];
        String s="";
        int charRead;

        while ((charRead=InputRead.read(inputBuffer))>0) {
            String rs=String.copyValueOf(inputBuffer,0,charRead);
            s +=rs;
        }
        InputRead.close();
        Log.d(TAG,s);
