Simple code to read file, line by line
File file = new File(ApplicationLocation, debitFile.toString()); //Log.e("response", "debitFile -----" + file); try { InputStream instream = new FileInputStream("myFile.txt"); if (instream != null) { // prepare the file for reading InputStreamReader inputreader = new InputStreamReader(instream); BufferedReader buffreader = new BufferedReader(inputreader); String line = ""; // read every line of the file into the line-variable, on line at the time while (line != null) { line = buffreader.readLine(); Log.e("response", "RESPONSE:" + line); } } } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
