How to convert comma-separated String to ArrayList?

Question

Is there any built-in method in Java which allows us to convert comma separated String to some container (e.g array, List or Vector)? Or do I need to write custom code for that? String commaSeparated = "item1 , item2 , item3"; ArrayList items = //method that converts above string into list?

Answer 1

Use String.parse();

to get an array of string tokens.

Convert that into an array list
