How to convert comma-separated String to List?

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 t

Answer 1

You can do it as follows.

This removes white space and split by comma where you do not need to worry about white spaces.

    String myString= "A, B, C, D";

    //Remove whitespace and split by comma 
    List finalString= Arrays.asList(myString.split("\\s*,\\s*"));

    System.out.println(finalString);
