filenot found exception in android

when i run this piece of code as normal java application in main it runs fine. but when i try to use the same code in onCreate in one of the activity it says file not found exception and prints nothing in logcat. i have tried every possible way but dont know whts the cause of the problem. Also in logcat the msg is like this filenotfound exception: /D:/android/Suyesh.2DV106.Assignment3/southern_cities.txt (no such file or directory) . is it because of the leading forward slash /D:/.. but i didnt put it there and when i try to print the path it doesnt contain that / in front of D. But when i print the absoulte path it contains that /D. Whats the problem here? I have also my manifest file as below.

public class TheCityMap extends Activity{
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);


    try {
        String strFile = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +"/android/Suyesh.2DV106.Assignment3/southern_cities.txt";
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strFile));
        String strLine = null;
        StringTokenizer st = null;
        int lineNumber = 0, tokenNumber = 0;
        while( (strLine = br.readLine()) != null){
            lineNumber++;
            st = new StringTokenizer(strLine, ",");
            while(st.hasMoreTokens()){
                tokenNumber++;
                System.out.println("Line # " + lineNumber +", Token # " + tokenNumber+ ", Token : "+ st.nextToken());
            }
            tokenNumber = 0; 

        }
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 
        }    

}

Android is based on linux so things like "D:" should never work.

If the file is on sd card try this:

String strFile = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/android/Suyesh.2DV106.Assignment3/southern_cities.txt";

At the end your path should be something like:
"/mnt/sdcard/android/Suyesh.2DV106.Assignment3/southern_cities.txt"

Have you tried to use:

File file = new File(TheCityMap.class.getResource(/* name */));
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader( file ));

or:

new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(FlowAp.class.getResourceAsStream("" /* name */)))

if D is your external storage directory (sdcard or flash), use Enviroment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
