I have a wordlist saved in the assets folder in my app and i want to be able to read each word in, check it against a string and then repeat for how many words there are in the word list.
To do this though i need to be able to use a stream reader that has a readLine()
method.
For reading from assets previously i have been using:
AssetManager am = getAssets();
InputStream in = am.open("wordlist.txt");
int data;
while((data=in.read())!=-1){
System.out.println((char)data)
}in.close();
But this doesnt read in lines. I could check if each "data
" is a newline char
but is there a better way to do this?
If I replace InputStream
I need to find an alternative that works with AssetManager
Just so you know the WordList (50,000 words) is quite long so the algorithm needs to be quite quick
