How to convert string of values into array?

Question

I have a string, ie 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17. How do I get each value and convert it into an array? [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. I can't find any suggestions about this method. Can help? I did try using regex, but it just simply remove ',' and make the string into one long sentence with indistinguishable value. Is it ideal to get value before and after ',' with regex and put it into []?

Answer 1

You could use following solution

String dummy = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17";
String[] dummyArr = dummy.split(",");

Answer 2

Try this to convert string to an array of Integer.

String baseString = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17";
String[] baseArray = baseString.split(",");

int[] myArray = new int[baseArray.length];
for(int i = 0; i < baseArray.length; i++) {
    myArray[i] = Integer.parseInt(baseArray[i]);
}
