java try finally block to close stream

Question

I want to close my stream in the finally block, but it throws an IOException so it seems like I have to nest another try block in my finally<

Answer 1

First thing I noticed in your code is curly bracket { } missing from your code if you look at it. also you need to initialize value of r to null so you need to pass null value to object at first so that if condition you have written can do not null condition check and lets you close the stream.
