Configuration properties file in Android project

Issue

Where can I place configuration file in Android project? Currently I am made a directory in res directory as : res/config/configuration.properties

and want to access it as :
properties = new Properties();
properties.load(getClass().getResourceAsStream("config/configuration.properties"));

It is not working : input stream is null

Solution

You can place it in assets directory as assets/configuration.properties

Example code

try {
    InputStream is = context.getAssets().open("configuration.properties");
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.load(is);

    String value = props.getProperty("key", "");

    is.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
