So on button click in first activity you call an intent starting second Activity. If you want in your first activity to choose the resource id, then i advice you to use something like this

Button button = (Button) fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.button_id);
    button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
            intent.putExtra("resource_id", R.raw.books); //R.raw.books or any other resource you want to display
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });

Then in your second activity you get this data like this

int resourceId = getIntent().getIntExtra("resource_id");

And you use this resourceId instead of R.raw.books

Please Use below code for Read file data from raw folder.

try {
    Resources res = getResources();
    InputStream in_s = res.openRawResource(R.raw.books);

    byte[] b = new byte[in_s.available()];
    in_s.read(b);
    textView.setText(new String(b));
} catch (Exception e) {
    // e.printStackTrace();
    textView.setText("Error: can't show help.");
}
