read json file from androidTest

Issue

hello i'm trying to read json file located at resources folder in androidTest. I'm able to access json file located at resources folder in Test/resources but not in androidTest/resources.

I use following to get the json file in the Test/resources folder.

private fun getJson(path: String): String {
    val uri = this.javaClass.classLoader?.getResource(path)
    val file = File(uri?.path ?: "")
    return String(file.readBytes())
}

Is there a way i can access the file under androidTest/resources ?

Solution

 private fun getJson(fileName: Int): String {
        val inputStream = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().targetContext.resources.openRawResource(fileName)
        val s = Scanner(inputStream).useDelimiter("\\A")
        return if (s.hasNext()) s.next() else ""
    }
