It's a java question, not an android specific question.

The best is to use a BufferedReader on your file (or stream). Then use readLine to get one line.

Then use String.split or String.indexOf to parse your data.

Probably the best thing to do is use a Scanner that way you can easily specify your used delimiters and read data in its correct form (readXXX()). Also you can use the same logic independent of where the file is from by replacing the Stream in the constructor with another.

String.split(..) if it is simple. If it is more complex, you could use regex
