Export it as tab separated text, and it is easy to read that in core JAVA. For a mobile device, it might be good to compress it using a ziplib. This is pretty sttep for a beginner, but start on a PC and then work over to the mobile JAVA. There are many good JAVA tutorials online, like the Oracle/Sun reference one.
