Answer 1

Try switching libraries as suggested by Satish. If that doesn't help, you have to split the whole file into tokens and process them.

Thinking that your CSV didn't had any escape characters for commas

// r is the BufferedReader pointed at your file
String line;
StringBuilder file = new StringBuilder();
// load each line and append it to file.
while ((line=r.readLine())!=null){
    file.append(line);
}
// Make them to an array
String[] tokens = file.toString().split(",");

Then you can process it. Don't forget to trim the token before using it.
