Place your text file in the /assets
directory under the Android project. Use AssetManager
class to access it.
AssetManager am = context.getAssets();
InputStream is = am.open("test.txt");
Or you can also put the file in the /res/raw
directory, where the file will be indexed and is accessible by an id in the R file:
InputStream is = context.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.test);
