I have a string like "2 -56 0 78 0 4568 -89..." end so on. Now I use Scanner.nextInt() to parse it, but it seems to be slow. Platform is Android. Any advices how to implement in for better speed?

Thanks.

StringTokenizer is not recommended for use in newer versions of Java, String split() is recommended. – Oh Chin Boon Aug 20 '12 at 13:09

`StringTokenizer` has always been faster than `String.split` for simple things like this. – Louis Wasserman Aug 20 '12 at 15:21

Split the string on the space and parse each entry

for (String s: string.split(" ")) {
  int i = Integer.parseInt(s);
  //do something with i
}

You could go for reading the input as normal String and then using Integer.parseInt() on it.

You can use String.split("\\s") and then for each string use Integer.valueOf() to parse to an Integer or Integer.parseInt() to parse to an int.
