Resource XML for validation and parsing

Issue

I have an XML file in the res/xml folder which I want to parse using getXML().

But I also want to validate it first against an XSD schema.

How can I create a InputStreamReader for the XML file for validation?
It turns out that to use openRawResource() the file should be under res/raw or in assets

Solution

read it from the classpath, getclass -> getresourceasstream. For validation consider using the xerces lib.
