Someting like this will do the trick. I'm adding the file contents line by line to an Arraylist instead of an array though. This way you don't have to know how big your array needs to be before hand. Plus you can always change it to an array later.

public ArrayList readFileToMemory(String filepath)
{
    in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader( "data.txt" ));
    String currentLine = null;
    ArrayList fileContents = new ArrayList();

    try
    {
        while((currentLine = in.readLine()) != null)
        {
            fileContents.add(currentLine);
        }
    }
    catch(IOException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally
    {
        try
        {
            in.close();
        }
        catch(IOException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    return fileContents;
}
