I am trying to read a simple text file in my sample Android Application. I am using the below written code for reading the simple text file.

InputStream inputStream = openFileInput("test.txt");
InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);

My questions is : Where should I place this "test.txt" file in my project?. I have tried putting the file under "res/raw" and "asset" folder but I get the exception "FileNotFound" when first live of the code written above gets executed.

In Mono For Android....

try
{
    System.IO.Stream StrIn = this.Assets.Open("MyMessage.txt");
    string Content = string.Empty;
    using (System.IO.StreamReader StrRead = new System.IO.StreamReader(StrIn))
    {
      try
      {
            Content = StrRead.ReadToEnd();
            StrRead.Close();
      }  
      catch (Exception ex) { csFunciones.MostarMsg(this, ex.Message); }
      }
          StrIn.Close();
          StrIn = null;
}
catch (Exception ex) { csFunciones.MostarMsg(this, ex.Message); }
