Thanks for the explanation. I found the files there alright so the
code is working which is great. Now I need to access the files in the
device to display their contents in a TextView in a screen. I've been
trying to do something like this:

                String text = new String(istr);
                TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.somenews);
            tv.setText(text);
            setContentView(R.layout.latestnews);

but I'm not really sure how to do it.
