How to get InputStreamReader in ISO-8859-15?

Question

How can I make this inputstream read a ISO-8859-15 encoded file?

BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.jet)));

I found this line which seemingly works:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ftp.getInputStream(), "ISO-8859-15"));

But

BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.jet), "ISO-8859-15"));

does not.

The second one is an InputStreamReader for FTP, rather than a raw resource. — fred, Aug 21 '11 at 03:18
Irrelevant. The point is that it specifies the charset, not where its input is coming from. — user207421, Aug 21 '11 at 05:41
I dont understand why sending a String works in one case while in the other one needs to send a Charset. — fred, Aug 21 '11 at 08:53

It seems that:

BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.jet), Charset.forName("ISO-8859-15")));

works. Apparently you need to send a Charset, not a String with the encoding in this case. Given this it seems strange that this works then:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ftp.getInputStream(), "ISO-8859-15"));
