Thread: How can I read a file and store it's objects into my custom linked list?

Basically, I am not using any of the Java API classes such as ArrayLists or LinkedLists, as I have created my own custom linked list class which in this case is named FoodList. I am trying to figure out a way to read each line from a file where each line is an object, and store it in FoodList.

I've looked at many examples of reading files online, but none of them were for a custom linked list.

package lab9;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.*;

public class Console {
	
    FoodList x = new FoodList();
	
	public Console(){
		this.x = new FoodList();
	}
	
	public void Display() {
		
		System.out.println("============================================================================");
		System.out.println("Name                Food Group          Calories            Daily percentage   ");
		System.out.println("============================================================================");
		
        File f = new File("food.txt");
        
        try {
        	Scanner scan = new Scanner(f);  //What I tried to do to read in objects from file
        	
            while(scan.hasNextLine()){
                String line = scan.nextLine();
                String[] details = new String[4];
                details = line.split(" ");
                String name = details[0];
                String group = details[1];
                int calories = Integer.parseInt(details[2]);
                double percentage = Double.parseDouble(details[3]);
                x.add(new Food(name, group, calories, percentage));
            }
            
            System.out.println(x);

        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.out.println("Not working");
        }
    }
