Hi, Thank you Dianne for your immediate response. Finally, I found how to access a file located in the resources of an other application (thanks to one of yours response) using the following code.
Context currentCtx = ...; Context otherCtx = currentCtx.createPackageContext(<package_name>, Context.CONTENT_INCLUDE_CODE); Resources otherRes = otherCtx.getResources(); I'm still not able to create an InputStream on the files located among the source code of the other package, but this is finally no longer relevant.
