Reading single InputStream from multiple methods

Question

I have initialized an InputStream in a single method in a class and passing it to next method for processing. The InputStream essentially encapsulates CSV file for processing.

Answer 1

If you need a BufferedReader, I think you need to create it in in main method:

main() {
  FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("FileName.CSV");
  BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
  InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(bis);
  BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);

  processCSV(br);
}

processCSV(Reader isr) {
  fetchHeaders(isr);
  processContentRows(isr);
}

fetchHeaders(Reader isr) {
  //Use BufferedReader to retrieve first line of CSV
  //Even tried mark() and reset() here
}

processContentRows(Reader isr) {
  //Cannot read the values, fetches null from InputStream :(
}
