Reading Android raw text file

Question

I have a words.txt file which I have placed in my res/raw folder. The words in the file are separated by space. I\'m having a hard time writing

Answer 1

The simplest is to use a Scanner.

Scanner s = new Scanner(getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.text_file));

try {
    while (s.hasNext()) {
        String word = s.next();
        // ....
    }
} finally {
    s.close();
}

The default delimiter is whitespace (including space). If you want it to only trigger on space use s.useDelimiter(" "); after creating it.
