ResourceBundle - How to point getBundle to android's resources

I am trying to make use of the ResourceBundle class in my application. I am still confused/stuck in instantiating the whole thing. Especially pointing the ResourceBundle to my res folder where I have values-en, values-fr, values-sw and so on.

I have tried the following:

resourceBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle(basename, locale);

where basename:

"myclasspackage"
"res"
"/data/data/myclasspackage/project.properties"

All of the initializations give me the same, NullPointerExpection. Please please help me.

To access resources from a different configuration:

Resources res_curr_conf = getResources();
Configuration c = new Configuration(res_curr_conf.getConfiguration());
c.locale = whateverLocaleIWant();
Resources res_alt_conf = new Resources(res_curr_conf.getAssets(), res_curr_conf.getDisplayMetrics(), c);
// TODO - use res_alt_conf

ResourceBundle is for old-style Java resources in JAR files and have nothing to do with Android's resource system.
