In readText, you have:

tmp = str.split("-");

Then you use tmp[0], tmp[1] and tmp[2]. My guess is that tmp.length < 2.

What makes you think that tmp will have at least 3 items? Even if you think it should be the case, you should test for it: if (tmp.length >=3) { etc.

Side note: tmp[i] is already a String so there is no need to write xxx = tmp[i].toString();, xxx = tmp[i]; is enough.

Here is your problem:

            tmp = str.split("-");
            naslov = tmp[0].toString();
            opis = tmp[1].toString();

            latinica = tmp[2].toString(); //line 115

You split the string using "-" as a delimiter, but you never check into how many pieces it was actually split. Apparently, your input text file contains some line that has only one "-" in it, so it is split into only two pieces, and tmp[2] is out of range.

Also, there is no need for calling .toString(), since tmp is already an array of strings.

Are you certain that str = br.readLine() will always have a "-" ? What I can see here is that, If one of your str (str = br.readLine() )does not contain a "-", you won't have a tmp[0] and or tmp[1] which may lead to java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException You may want to do a check to see if you can split by a "-" by checking if(str.contains("-"))

  String[] tmp;
try {
    while ((str = br.readLine()) != null) {
       //before split, check that delimeter exists                      
        if (str.contains("-")) {
            tmp = str.split("-");
            naslov = tmp[0].toString();
            opis = tmp[1].toString();
         .......            
         }                          
    }
    is.close();
    br.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
