android - Reading from text file, empty lines is skipped -

im writing app read text file located in assets folder.

lets text file this.

1.hello 2. 3.world 4.again 

and using bufferedreader read line line (i want 3 first).

        bufferedreader reader = new bufferedreader(                 new inputstreamreader(result.getcontext().getassets().open("file.txt")));         string text;         (int x=0;x<3; x++) {             text += reader.readline();         } 

output becomes "helloworld". how like:

hello  world 

i though bufferedreader included empty lines textfile :s.

i tried manually create line break wanted if statement inside loop,

            (int x=0;x<4; x++) {             string s = reader.readline();             if(s.equals("")){                 text+="\n";             }else {                 text += s;             } 

from java documentation bufferedreader#readline() returns:

a string containing contents of line, not including line-termination characters, or null if end of stream has been reached

see bufferedreader.

you have add new line character manually in loop proposed checking empty string.
