Answer 1

Perhaps this code can help you

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{

      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("Admin.txt"));
      ArrayList<Admin> al = new ArrayList<Admin>();
      String line = null;
      while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        Admin admin = new Admin();
        String lines[] = line.split("|");
        /*adjust accordingly
        admin.setName(lines[0]);
        admin.setUser(lines[1]);
            ....*/
        al.add(admin);          
      }
      br.close();
}

Answer 2

Add a constructor to your Admin class like this but with fields for all your data:

public class Admin {
    private final String id, username, password, name, email, contactNumber, icNumber;
    public Admin (String[] values) {
        this.id = values[0];
        this.username = values[1];
        this.password = values[2];
        this.name = values[3];
        this.email = values[4];
        this.contactNumber = values[5];
        this.icNumber = values[6];
    }
}

Note that this isn't meant to be your entire Admin class, you only need to modify the constructor to look like the one here.

Then in your loop do this instead:

adminList.add(new Admin(values));
