Android long text pagination

I have a need to display large text files. Display text without the need to scroll as an e-book. I can break a long text on the page, but it takes me too much time. For example - the following code handles 1.4 MB of text for about 10-15 seconds.

    public void split(TextPaint textPaint, String filepath,Context context) {
        int pages = 0;
        File file = new File(filepath);
        char[] bufferChar = new char[1024];
        String uncompletedtext="";
        //How lines we can show
        int maxLinesOnpage = 0;
        StaticLayout staticLayout = new StaticLayout(
                context.getString(R.string.lorem_ipsum),
                textPaint,
                pageWidth,
                Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_NORMAL,
                lineSpacingMultiplier,
                lineSpacingExtra,
                false
        );
        int startLineTop = staticLayout.getLineTop(0);
        int endLine = staticLayout.getLineForVertical(startLineTop + pageHeight);
        int endLineBottom = staticLayout.getLineBottom(endLine);
        if (endLineBottom > startLineTop + pageHeight) {
            maxLinesOnpage = endLine - 1;
        } else {
            maxLinesOnpage = endLine;

        }


        //let's paginate
try {
            BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            while (buffer.read(bufferChar)>=0) {
                uncompletedtext += new String(bufferChar);
                boolean allcomplete = false;


                    staticLayout = new StaticLayout(
                            uncompletedtext,
                            textPaint,
                            pageWidth,
                            Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_NORMAL,
                            lineSpacingMultiplier,
                            lineSpacingExtra,
                            false
                    );
                    staticLayout.getLineCount();
                    int curTextPages= (int) Math.floor(staticLayout.getLineCount() / maxLinesOnpage);
                    uncompletedtext=uncompletedtext.substring(staticLayout.getLineEnd(curTextPages));
                    pages+=curTextPages;
                    Log.e("PAGES","" + pages);



            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        Log.e("FILE READED FULLY!!", "READ COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");




    }

It is too long. I can not understand how applications such as FBReader and СoolReader handle large files (More than 9 MB) instantly. I saw the source of the applications, but they have too much functionality to quickly find answer. I really need help and tips. Thanks.

Thanks to all! I find solution! Not elegant but very fast code (10Mb ~ 600 ms)

public void split(TextPaint textPaint, String filepath,Context context) {
        File file = new File(filepath);
        char[] bufferChar = new char[512];
        //How lines on page
        int maxLinesOnpage = 0;
        int symbolsOnLine = 0;
        StaticLayout staticLayout = new StaticLayout(
                context.getString(R.string.lorem_ipsum),//short text with 100 lines (\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n)
                textPaint, //MONOSPACE!!!
                pageWidth,
                Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_NORMAL,
                lineSpacingMultiplier,
                lineSpacingExtra,
                false
        );
        int startLineTop = staticLayout.getLineTop(0);
        int endLine = staticLayout.getLineForVertical(startLineTop + pageHeight);
        int endLineBottom = staticLayout.getLineBottom(endLine);
        if (endLineBottom > startLineTop + pageHeight) {
            maxLinesOnpage = endLine - 1;
        } else {
            maxLinesOnpage = endLine;
