Convert String[] to comma separated string in java

Question

Either write a simple method yourself, or use one of the various utilities out there.

Personally I use apache StringUtils (StringUtils.join)

edit: in Java 8, you don't need this at all anymore:

String joined = String.join(",", name);

Android developers are probably looking for TextUtils.join

Android docs: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/TextUtils.html

Code:

String[] name = {"amit", "rahul", "surya"};
TextUtils.join(",",name)

Nice and simple: but java8 required!

String result = String.join(",", names);

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (String n : name) { 
    if (sb.length() > 0) sb.append(',');
    sb.append("'").append(n).append("'");
}
return sb.toString();

if (name.length > 0) {
    StringBuilder nameBuilder = new StringBuilder();

    for (String n : name) {
        nameBuilder.append("'").append(n.replace("'", "\\'")).append("',");
        // can also do the following
        // nameBuilder.append("'").append(n.replace("'", "''")).append("',");
    }

    nameBuilder.deleteCharAt(nameBuilder.length() - 1);

    return nameBuilder.toString();
} else {
    return "";
}
