Populating JCombobox with a text file [duplicate]

Answer 1

private void populate() {
    String[] lines;
    lines = readFile();

    jComboBox1.removeAllItems();

    for (String str : lines) {
       jComboBox1.addItem(str);
    }
}

Here is readFile(). From this site

private String[] readFile() {
  ArrayList<String> arr = new ArrayList<>();
  try {
     FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("textfile.txt");
     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
     String strLine;
     while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
        arr.add(strLine);
     }
     in.close();
  } catch (Exception e) {
  }
  return arr.toArray(new String[arr.size()]);
}
