Android: Store Class file in Resources?

Question

I am trying to store a saved class binary file in my application's resources. Where should I put it and how can I access it in the application?

I'm struggling to understand why you would want/need to do this. If you want to distribute a class file with your app then simply put it in the package where it will be built and accessible as with any other class. — Squonk, May 11 '12 at 18:13

Put it in res/raw and access it like any other file, but don't expect to actually be able to execute it.
