Where do I put (and how do I read) my own custom XML in Android?

Sorry, this seems like such an obvious question, but I just can't find an answer in the docs...

I have my own XML doc (not Android related) that I need to pull and parse at run time.

Where do I store it and what's the best way to retrieve it? Do I just read it as a text document into an XML parser? Or does Android come prepared to hand me back a parsed XML object from a well formed xml?

TIA

Best way is to put your xml in assets folder and read xml from assets.

You can put it in assets folder of your project.

For parsing you can use openXmlResourceParser(filename) method of AssetsManager class

XmlResourceParser parser = getResources().getAssets().openXmlResourceParser (String fileName);
