How to read multiple files from a resource directory

Sorry for this question, I'm an amateur programmer.

I have 495 text files in raw

my project directory that I want to read. The problem is that I can only read one of them with the following code, but I have no idea how to read all the files.

please help me,

try {
    Resources res = getResources();
    InputStream in_s = res.openRawResource(R.raw.help);

    byte[] b = new byte[in_s.available()];
    in_s.read(b);
    txtHelp.setText(new String(b));
} catch (Exception e) {
    // e.printStackTrace();
    txtHelp.setText("Error: can't show help.");
}

  • Read all Raw resource names

  • Get actual id (int) and open resource as InputStream

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    MainActivity.context = getApplicationContext();
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Field[] fields = R.raw.class.getFields();
    String[] names = new String[fields.length];

    // Step 1: Read the names
    for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
        names[i] = fields[i].getName();
    }
    // Step 2: Read as InputStream
    for (int i = 0  ; i < allStringsNames.length ; i++){
        int id = getResources().getIdentifier(names[i] , "raw", getPackageName());
        InputStream inputStream = getResources().openRawResource(id);
        //Do your stuff with variable inputStream
    }
    }
