Hi Guys, I am facing an issue while writing the data (Append the data) into raw (demofile.txt) folder. I am able to read the data but the I can’t append the data. My Reading functionality is looking like this from raw folder

fileContent = readFileFromRawDirectory(R.raw.demoFile) . ---> This is the file inside the /raw folder

private fun readFileFromRawDirectory(resourceId: Int): String {
        val iStream: InputStream = context?.resources.openRawResource(resourceId)
        var byteStream: ByteArrayOutputStream? = null
        try {
            val buffer = ByteArray(iStream.available())
            iStream.read(buffer)
            byteStream = ByteArrayOutputStream()
            byteStream.write(buffer)
            byteStream.close()
            iStream.close()
        } catch (e: IOException) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        }
        return byteStream.toString()
    }

Now I want to add the data inside the same demoFile.txt This below code is for writing the string inside the demoFile.txt

private fun writeDataIntoFile(searchText: String) {
        val file = context?.filesDir?.absolutePath + "/demoFile.txt"
        try {
            val fileout: FileOutputStream? = context?.openFileOutput(file, MODE_PRIVATE)
            val outputWriter = OutputStreamWriter(fileout)
            outputWriter.write(searchText)
            outputWriter.close()
            fileout?.close()
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        }
    }
