Android - class.getResource() can't find file

Question

I have a file placed in the same package as MyClass.java that I need to load at runtime. I am using this code:

MyClass.class.getResource("file.xml")

however, the result is always null. What am I doing wrong?

It's not a drawable. I am loading it because I need its file path in order to pass it to a library method — Alessandro Roaro, Mar 20 '14 at 10:52
Since its an `XML`, you can store it in the `res/xml/` folder and then fetch it by using `XmlPullParserxpp=getResources().getXml(R.xml.file);` — AndyFaizan, Mar 20 '14 at 10:54
do you want to put the url in this file?? and then you want to pass that url in library?? @AlessandroRoaro — rupesh, Mar 20 '14 at 10:56

I solved the problem by placing the file in R.raw folder, and then copying it at runtime. By doing this I was able to get the file path.
