Hm, seems to work now, strangely, although the only thing I changed was 
a fix to my second question:

final BufferedReader queriesF = new BufferedReader(new 
InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(selectedFile), "UTF-8"));

instead of

final BufferedReader queriesF = new BufferedReader(new 
FileReader(selectedFile)));

Ah well, H.
