Answer 1

In Android you can store data in the assets folder, which can be entered by your code. To address your file use

file:///android_asset/yourFile.xml

I haven´t tried this yet, but I hope it will work

Answer 2

In the link you provided, replace the line 47

xr.parse(new InputSource(sourceUrl.openStream()));

with

xr.parse(getResources().getAssets().open(fileName));

and place your xml file in /res/raw folder

Answer 3

try {
//          InputStream is = getResources().getAssets().open("yourfilename.xml");
            InputStream is =getAssets().open("yourfilename.xml");
            SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
            SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
            XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();

            MyXMLHandler myXMLHandler = new MyXMLHandler();
            xr.setContentHandler(myXMLHandler);

            xr.parse(new InputSource(is));

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("XML Pasing Excpetion = " + e);
        }

This is what I did,

InputStream is = res.openRawResource(R.raw.fileName);
xr.parse(new InputSource(is));
