Example 1: reading in lines from a file java

private ArrayList<String> readFileLines(String filepath) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException{
  File fp = new File(filepath);
  FileReader fr = new FileReader(fp);
  BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);

  ArrayList<String> lines = new ArrayList<>();
  String line;
  while((line = br.readLine()) != null) { lines.add(line); }

  fr.close();
  return lines;
}

Example 2: java read each lines in file

BufferedReader br = null;
        try {
            File file = new File("myfile.txt"); // java.io.File
            FileReader fr = new FileReader(file); // java.io.FileReader
            br = new BufferedReader(fr); // java.io.BufferedReader
            String line;
            while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
              // process the line
            }
          }
          catch(IOException e) { e.printStackTrace();}
          finally
          {
              try { if (br != null) br.close(); }
              catch(IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
          }
