How to Select the last part from ArrayAdapter.getItem(which)?

Question

I am selecting an item from arraylist

ArrayAdapter.getItem(which)

I am getting the result as Amazon.com%2C%20Inc.-AMZN

I just want the last part that is AMZN of this string to append in my url.

Answer 1

Normal String operation like lastIndexOf and substring

      String str = "Amazon.com%2C%20Inc.-AMZN";

      String result = str.substring(str.lastIndexOf("-") + 1);
      System.out.println(result);

or if there are no other - in the String use

 String endBit = str.split ("-")[1];

Answer 3

try this.

if there is no other -

String val = "Amazon.com%2C%20Inc.-AMZN";
String arr[]=val.split("-");
and at index 1 you can get your value.
like arr[1]// this will contain "AMZN"
