Write in a CSV file situated in res/raw in android

Question

I'm trying to write in a CSV file situated in my res/raw resources. I can read it using

InputStream csvFile = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.fichier_csv);

But I don't know how to write in it because this method return an InputStream.

More specifically, *contents* of res/raw are read only. By the time the app gets to the device they aren't even literal "files" any more. — Chris Stratton, Apr 21 '15 at 18:12

you cant write to raw, you need to create a new file in code and read/write to that

Technically, this is an SO compliant answer as the fact that what the poster wants to do is not supported is a self-contained response to the question. The link is arguably only supporting material to provide an alternative. – Chris Stratton Apr 21 '15 at 18:15
