Hey guys, I need some help with reading the contents of a file. I have
a plaintext file called 'test' in my app's files/ directory. I have
this code to read it:

        public String loadFile(String filename)
        {
                try
                {
                        FileInputStream fis = openFileInput(filename);
                        InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader
(fis);
                        String contents = "";
                        in.read(contents.toCharArray());
                        return contents;
                }
                catch(FileNotFoundException e)
                {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        return null;
                } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        return null;
                }
        }

I pass the filename to the function like this:
        String contents = "";
        contents = loadFile('test');

But every time it returns nothing. I have tested it and it doesn't go
into one of the catch es, but it apparently reads nothing from the
file. What am I doing wrong?
