Android Split String

Android Split string

String currentString = "Fruit: they taste good";
String[] separated = currentString.split(":");
separated[0]; // this will contain "Fruit"
separated[1]; // this will contain " they taste good"

You may want to remove the space to the second String:

separated[1] = separated[1].trim();

If you want to split the string with a special character like dot(.) you should use escape character \ before the dot

Example:

String currentString = "Fruit: they taste good.very nice actually";
String[] separated = currentString.split("\\.");
separated[0]; // this will contain "Fruit: they taste good"
separated[1]; // this will contain "very nice actually"

There are other ways to do it. For instance, you can use the StringTokenizer class (from java.util):

StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(currentString, ":");
String first = tokens.nextToken();// this will contain "Fruit"
String second = tokens.nextToken();// this will contain " they taste good"
// in the case above I assumed the string has always that syntax (foo: bar)
// but you may want to check if there are tokens or not using the hasMoreTokens method

split string android studio

You can just use the array returned by String#split instead of using lots of variables.

String[] ans=anskey.split("");

Instead of using ans1, you can then just use ans[0].

However, if you want to split for characters, you can also do it like this so you get a char[]:

char[] ans=anskey.toCharArray();

This approach is way more robust as split uses a regex.

And if you nedd to get the values of all variables, you can just iterate over them:

for(int i=0;i<ans.length;i++){
    //Do something with ans[i]
}

or

for(String distinctAns:ans){
    //Do something with ans[i]
}

Split a string in android

Java version

String s = "MAT:TO:My address email;SUB:My title;BODY:My content;;";
String[] arrayString = s.split(";");

String email = arrayString[0];
String title = arrayString[1];
String body = arrayString[2];

email= email.substring(email.indexOf("MAT:TO:") + 7, email.length());
title= title.substring(title.indexOf("SUB:") + 4, title.length());
body= body.substring(body.indexOf("BODY:") + 5, body.length());

Especially Android official is used kotlin version:

val s = "MAT:TO:My address email;SUB:My title;BODY:My content;;"
val arrayString = s.split(";").toTypedArray()

var email = arrayString[0]
var title = arrayString[1]
var body = arrayString[2]

email = email.substring(email.indexOf("MAT:TO:") + 7, email.length)
title = title.substring(title.indexOf("SUB:") + 4, title.length)
body = body.substring(body.indexOf("BODY:") + 5, body.length)

Split String with .(dot) character java android

You need to escape . using \

Eg:

String s="Android_a_b.pdf";
String[] parts = s.split("\\."); // escape .
String part1 = parts[0];
String part2 = parts[1];

Now it will split by .

Split(regex) in Java

Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.

This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with
the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty
strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.

Keep in mind that

Parameters:
regex - the delimiting regular expression

Java(android): How to I split a string by every two line breaks?

First of all you should escape the \ with another \ like this:

string.split("\\n\\n");

Another way is using system default line separator:

string.split(System.getProperty("line.separator")+"{2}");

or you can try mix this:

string.split("(\\r\\n|"+System.getProperty("line.separator")+")+");

split need RegExp, so you can try variants for your problem.

And don't forget that sometimes new line is not only \n symbol, for Windows files it can be \r\n char sequence.
