Java – save values in a loop

I'm trying to read the value of my country array string, which reads CSV files

InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(asset_stream);  
br = new BufferedReader(reader);
String[] country = null;
String cvsSplitBy = ";";

try {
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        country = line.split(cvsSplitBy);

    }
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

My code is currently storing the value in the country variable But when my loop ends, I only read the last value in the loop How do I store all the values so that I can print them after the loop is completed?

Solution

Consider using a list to save values:

List<String[]> countries = new ArrayList<>();

try {
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        countries.add(line.split(cvsSplitBy));    
    }
}

You can traverse this list later:

for (String[] country : countries) {
  System.out.println(Arrays.toString(country); // or whatever
}
