This is what I did,

InputStream is = res.openRawResource(R.raw.fileName);
xr.parse(new InputSource(is));

thanx for ur reply theresia, but wat is "res"? am getting error res not declared,have u tried for that proj which is in that link,is that executing? – Sowmya Jan 19 '11 at 04:09
Resource res = getResources(); Your class has to extend Activity, or at least get access to it. Pass it as a parameter, if you put your code in another class that doesn't extend Activity. I haven't tried the IBM tutorial, but I take some essential code from there. It should work for you, too. – springrolls Jan 19 '11 at 08:30

you're asking different question. better post a new one. explain what you've done, what's the problem, and give the error trace if any. – springrolls Jan 19 '11 at 12:43

try {
//          InputStream is = getResources().getAssets().open("yourfilename.xml");
            InputStream is =getAssets().open("yourfilename.xml");
            SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
            SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
            XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();

            MyXMLHandler myXMLHandler = new MyXMLHandler();
            xr.setContentHandler(myXMLHandler);

            xr.parse(new InputSource(is));

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("XML Pasing Excpetion = " + e);
        }

In the link you provided, replace the line 47

xr.parse(new InputSource(sourceUrl.openStream()));

with

xr.parse(getResources().getAssets().open(fileName));

and place your xml file in /res/raw folder

In Android you can store data in the assets folder, which can be entered by your code. To address your file use

file:///android_asset/yourFile.xml

I haven´t tried this yet, but I hope it will work
