If you are pulling the file in for use in your application what I suggest you do is read in the data then stuff the in memory data you have collected into some kind of reader (BufferedReader perhaps) so that you can then read the lines from there.
Here is an example of what I typically do:
// Assumption: I already have the file object I want to read
// Note: I'm not doing any error handling.
InputStream input = new FileInputStream(file);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bytesRead = 0;
while( (bytesRead = input.read(buffer)) > 0){
baos.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
StringReader stringReader = new StringReader( new String(baos.toByteArray()) );
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader( stringReader );
for(String line : bufferedReader.readLine()){
// TODO: Handle each line appropriately or something
Log.d("Reading Data Example", line);
}
