Exception caught while trying to read the file from the raw folder

Question

I am trying to develop an app where I try to connect to the server through https. For this reason I have installed a self signed certificate. I have stored the certificate inside the raw folder. Now when I try to access it an exception is thrown which says "ENOENT. No such file or directory".

Here's my code :

try {
    InputStream id=getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.introduceprojectssl);

    CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
    Uri url1 = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/introduceprojectssl");
    String Path = url1.toString();

    InputStream caInput = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(Path));
}
catch(Exception e) {
    Log.e("Exception caught",e.getMessage();
}

@maven, i am not able to give the path of the file stored in the raw folder to FileInputStream — Sohail, Jul 10 '15 at 10:36

@maven, the above said link doesn't give the path to the raw folder in the form of string — Sohail, Jul 10 '15 at 10:52

You are adding file name i.e introduceprojectssl to URI actually you should add resourse ID ie R.raw.introduceprojectssl

 Uri url1 = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/"+R.raw.introduceprojectssl);

adding the resource id gives the same exception, @Shakeeb Ayaz. I tried it – Sohail Jul 10 '15 at 10:46
what exception you get – Shakeeb Ayaz Jul 10 '15 at 10:46
ENOENT. There is no such file or directory – Sohail Jul 10 '15 at 10:53
then try Uri.parse("android.resource://your_packege_name/raw/introduceprojectssl"); – Shakeeb Ayaz Jul 10 '15 at 10:55
one "/" is missing that should be there between package name and raw – Shakeeb Ayaz Jul 10 '15 at 11:02
is your package name com.example.suhai_000.delete? – Shakeeb Ayaz Jul 10 '15 at 11:03
