How to read file from res/raw by name

by

With the help of the given links I was able to solve the problem myself. The correct way is to get the resource ID with

getResources().getIdentifier("FILENAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION",
                             "raw", getPackageName());

To get it as a InputStream

InputStream ins = getResources().openRawResource(
            getResources().getIdentifier("FILENAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION",
            "raw", getPackageName()));
