ssl - Android: opending a keystore as an asset to make an SSLSocketFactory -

have bouncy castle keystore, i'd use connect sslsocketfactory. doing in "desktop" java easy, how do on android.

it doesn't seem make difference whether put in assets or res/raw - problem comes when trying open , instantiate instance of keystore (java.security.keystore in case) pass sslsocketfactorys constructor.

has had success before? what's best way of "reading" , opening it? pointers or code snippets welcome.

many thanks
don

this should do:

import android.content.context; import org.apache.http.conn.clientconnectionmanager; import org.apache.http.conn.scheme.plainsocketfactory; import org.apache.http.conn.scheme.scheme; import org.apache.http.conn.scheme.schemeregistry; import org.apache.http.conn.ssl.sslsocketfactory; import org.apache.http.impl.client.defaulthttpclient; import org.apache.http.impl.conn.singleclientconnmanager;  import java.io.inputstream; import java.security.keystore;  public class myhttpclient extends defaulthttpclient {    final context context;    public myhttpclient(context context) {     this.context = context;   }    @override protected clientconnectionmanager createclientconnectionmanager() {     schemeregistry registry = new schemeregistry();     registry.register(         new scheme("http", plainsocketfactory.getsocketfactory(), 80));     registry.register(new scheme("https", newsslsocketfactory(), 443));     return new singleclientconnmanager(getparams(), registry);   }    private sslsocketfactory newsslsocketfactory() {     try {       keystore trusted = keystore.getinstance("bks");       inputstream in = context.getresources().openrawresource(r.raw.mystore);       try {         trusted.load(in, "ez24get".tochararray());       } {         in.close();       }       return new sslsocketfactory(trusted);     } catch (exception e) {       throw new assertionerror(e);     }   } }
