getResources / OpenRawSource causing runtime exception

Question

I want to read from a text file. In a Java app, this

BufferedReader f = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));

works, in Android I tried

BufferedReader f = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.autobahnnetz_gps))) ;

which crashes the app. If I use this in the main activity class, it works fine. So I guess I have to pass the context to getResources by

getApplicationContext().getResources

but that doesnt work either.

What am I missing here?

Hrmmm... do you have any logcat output or any exception messages coming out? Can you post the class where you are using this code? — Adrian Rodriguez, Sep 03 '11 at 03:13
This is the class:http://pastebin.com/KirDVRSe The Logcat doesnt give any errors, this is all I got: ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread$ActivityClientRecord, Intent) line: 1816 e NullPointerException (id=830007996248) cause NullPointerException (id=830007996248) detailMessage null stackState (id=830007996280) stackTrace null — fweigl, Sep 03 '11 at 04:21

Can't really see how this helps, sorry. – fweigl Sep 03 '11 at 04:23
i mean that take static Activity variable (Named actVar) and onCreate() assign it act=this; now when want to use context write this yourActivity.actVar.this instead of getApplicationContext() – Mohammed Azharuddin Shaikh Sep 03 '11 at 04:31
