What is the proper way to use ResourceBundle.getBundle() in an Android application?

I want to know how I can use ResourceBundle.getBundle() in an Android application given that I use it in my Java applications. For example:

I have a properties file, "MyOrg.properties", which I've included in a JAR file named "MyOrg.jar". The path information in the JAR file associated with "MyOrg.jar" is "myorg\" (this is on a Windows system). I build my Java application using "myorg.jar" and note that the following line of code works as expected, which is that it loads the file "MyOrg.properties" from "MyOrg.jar" as a java.util.ResourceBundle:

        ResourceBundle resources = ResourceBundle.getBundle( "myorg.MyOrg" );

Next, I place a modified copy of the file "MyOrg.properties" on the file system in the directory "c:\myorg", which is on my Java application's class path. I now rerun my Java application and note that the Resource.getBundle() returns, as expected, a bundle for the modified copy of "MyOrg.properties" (the one that is on the file system).

The behavior I've just described is what I would like to be able to accomplish with an Android application. However, ResourceBundle.getBundle() throws a MissingResourceException; it fails to find "MyOrg.properties" in either the JAR file or as a stand-alone file.

So I have two questions:

1) - Is it possible for an Android application to retrieve a resource from a JAR file using ResourceBundle.getBundle() (or any other way for that matter)?

2) - Is it possible for an Android application to retrieve a resource from a file using ResourceBundle.getBundle()?

Regarding 2): I'm using the nbandroid plugin with NetBeans 6.7.1 and I've placed copies of "MyOrg.properties" on the file sys开发者_开发问答tem as follows prior to building my Android application:

MyProject

-- build

-- classes

  myorg (directory contains "MyOrg.properties")

... src

  myorg (directory contains "MyOrg.properties")

you need to make sure the properties file makes it to the .apk file. your best bet is probably in res/raw/ or assets/. see also PropertyResourceBundle's constructors (since it's easy to get hold of an InputStream).
