Hi everyone,

I'm working on writing a Kindlet as part of a Senior Project that will display my professor's weekly schedule. I want him to be able to easily change this schedule so I'm attempting to have the app read from an external text file. However, I'm running into problems using either InputStreamReader or FileReader, as the app will return a "An error occurred opening the title" message when I try to open it. Here are the two versions of the code I've tried that yield errors.

Code:

File file = new File("/mnt/us/documents/monday.txt");
FileReader reader = new FileReader(file);
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(reader);

and the version with InputStreamReader

Code:

InputStream stream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/mnt/us/documents/monday.txt");
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(stream);
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(reader);

If anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it. Take care.
