Android converting string to array string [closed]

Question

I have a string like this:

["477","com.dummybilling","android.test.purchased","inapp:com.dummybilling:android.test.purchased","779"]

How to have a String[] with these 5 element? Does anyone know a regex for .split() method?

Thank you very much, regular expressions make me crazy! :(

Answer 1

Process it as JSON. Two immediate benifits would be that it would take care of any embedded commas in your data automatically and the other that you would get a String[] with unquoted strings.

String input = "[\"477\",\"com.dummybilling\",\"android.test.purchased\",\"inapp:com.dummybilling:android.test.purchased\",\"779\"]";

JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(input);
String[] strArr = new String[jsonArray.length()];

for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
    strArr[i] = jsonArray.getString(i);
}

System.out.println(Arrays.toString(strArr));

Output :

[477, com.dummybilling, android.test.purchased, inapp:com.dummybilling:android.test.purchased, 779]
