Retrieve IP and MAC addresses from /proc/net/arp

Last post "Display WiFi Hotspot clients by "cat /proc/net/arp"" display arp as human readable string, but not machine readable. It's another version to retrieve IP and MAC addresses, store in a ArrayList.


MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    Button btnRead;
    TextView textResult;

    ArrayList<Node> listNote;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        btnRead = (Button)findViewById(R.id.readclient);
        textResult = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.result);

        listNote = new ArrayList<>();

        btnRead.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                readAddresses();
                textResult.setText("");
                for(int i=0; i<listNote.size(); i++){
                    textResult.append(i + " ");
                    textResult.append(listNote.get(i).toString());
                    textResult.append("\n");
                }
            }
        });
    }

    private void readAddresses() {
        listNote.clear();
        BufferedReader bufferedReader = null;

        try {
            bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/proc/net/arp"));

            String line;
            while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
                String[] splitted = line.split(" +");
                if (splitted != null && splitted.length >= 4) {
                    String ip = splitted[0];
                    String mac = splitted[3];
                    if (mac.matches("..:..:..:..:..:..")) {
                        Node thisNode = new Node(ip, mac);
                        listNote.add(thisNode);
                    }
                }
            }

        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

    }

    class Node {

        String mac;

        Node(String ip, String mac){
            this.ip = ip;
            this.mac = mac;
        }

        @Override
