how to declare array of list for an file

[deepika deepi]

i have generated an code for calling an file and it works fine. now i have different names that exists in an file. i want to declare that in that file and when i enter that number i want to display that name alone in the output

the text file look like this
apple
------------
mango
-------------
pineapple
-------------
jackfruit
-------------
papaya
-------------
grapes
------------
gauva
-----------
i want to get selective output displaying only one word. can any one illustrate with an example for an file access?
and i want to declare apple [0], mango[1] and so on till gauva[6]
when i enter 6 it should display guava alone. can any one give some examples how to declare that for an file?

the code is

package com.javasamples;

//reading an embedded RAW data file

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
import java.io.*;

public class FileDemo1Activity extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
try {
PlayWithRawFiles();
} catch (IOException e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Problems: " + e.getMessage(), 1).show();
}
}// onCreate

public void PlayWithRawFiles() throws IOException {
String str="";
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
InputStream is = this.getResources().openRawResource(R.drawable.my_base_data);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
if (is!=null) {
while ((str = reader.readLine()) != null) {
buf.append(str + "\n" );
}
}
is.close();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
buf.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();


}// PlayWithSDFiles

} // FilesDemo4

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
androidrientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/>
</LinearLayout>

Within the while loop store your strings (what you get through readline() method) in an ArrayList. This would make your index picking easier.

i have changed the code. but i am getting an error like this
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item,str));

code
package com.android.hellolistview;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

//import com.javasamples.R;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
public class Hellolistview extends ListActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

/* @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}*/
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
PlayWithRawFiles1();
}private void PlayWithRawFiles1() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
public void PlayWithRawFiles() throws IOException {
String str="";
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
InputStream is = this.getResources().openRawResource(R.drawable.my_base_data);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
if (is!=null) {
while ((str = reader.readLine()) != null) {
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item,str));

// ListView lv = getListView();
//lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text

}
});
buf.append(str + "\n" );
}
}
is.close();


// PlayWithSDFiles


// FilesDemo4

// onCreate


} }

if i change this statement it not showing the output . what problem is here ?

Deepika,
Kindly use code formatting tags to format your code. It will ease things for the Ranchers here.
