how to convert comma separated string to list of strings in java?

Question

Is there any built-in method in Java which allows us to convert a string into an list of strings. For eg:

"1,2,3,4" to "1","2","3","4"

Help would be appreciated

Yeah, using the split method

String a = "1,2,3,4";
String[] aa = a.split(",");

Into a list:

List<String> aaa = Arrays.asList(aa);

You can create String[] by split "1,2,3,4" by ,. Then convert that in to List by Arrays.asList()

    String str="1,2,3,4";
    String[] arr=str.split(",");
    List<String> list=Arrays.asList(arr);

Thanks Bro. But output is [1, 2, 3, 4]. I am looking for something like this: "1","2","3","4". – Kiran Feb 20 '14 at 15:00

String s = "1,2,3,4";
String[] tokens = s.split(",");
List<String> tokenlist=Arrays.asList(tokens);

You can use split method on String.

String str = "1,2,3,4";
String[] listStr = str.split(",");
