DOM parser in android

Question

Tried to parse an xml file in res/xml using the following code.But when launches the project it shows an exception "there is no such file/directory".Is any error in the code? Give me an answer immediately.Thanks in advance.

 try
    {
        DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder docBuilder=docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
        *Document doc=docBuilder.parse(new File("project_data.xml"));*
        NodeList projects=doc.getElementsByTagName("PROJECTDESC");
        for(int i=0;i<projects.getLength();i++)
        {
            Element project=(Element)projects.item(i);
            ProjectData projectdata=new ProjectData(null, null, null, null, null, null);

            projectdatas.add(projectdata);
            projectdata.setProject(project.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
            projectdata.getProject();
        }
    }
catch (Throwable t) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Request failed: "+t.toString(), 4000).show();
    }

XML FILE IS

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Answer 1

If the exception it gives you is "there is no such file/directory", then your error is with the location/name of the project_data.xml file. Check out this resource for more information on file storage in Android... your xml file is likely not where you expect it is.
