openRawResourceFd fails on android

I'm writing my first Android application, and I'm trying to read a res/raw resource file.

The following code throws a FileNotFound Exception:

AssetFileDescriptor fd = res.openRawResourceFd(R.raw.myfile);

but this line of code works:

InputStream stream = res.openRawResource (R.raw.myfile);

I need the AssetFileDescriptor in order to determine the length of the file. Any ideas why it isn't working?

You can do it this way:

FileDescriptor fd = getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.rawResourceId).getFileDescriptor();

No try/catch block required.

Move your myfile to asset folder and try this

try
 AssetFileDescriptor descriptor = getAssets().openFd( "myfile" );
 FileDescriptor fd = descriptor.getFileDescriptor();

catch(Exception)

Or you can try to open a RAW file from the resources/raw foder with this code:

FileDescriptor fd = getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.myfile).getFileDescriptor();
