How to read text file in Android? [duplicate]

by

@hermy’s answer uses dataIO.readLine(), which has now deprecated, so alternate solutions to this problem can be found at How can I read a text file in Android?. I personally used @SandipArmalPatil’s answer…did exactly as needed.

StringBuilder text = new StringBuilder();
try {
     File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
     File file = new File(sdcard,"testFile.txt");

     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));  
     String line;   
     while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                text.append(line);
                text.append('\n');
     }
     br.close() ;
 }catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();           
 }

TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.amount);  
tv.setText(text.toString()); ////Set the text to text view.
