Answer 1

This my be helpful!!!

private static String convertArrayToString(String [] strArray) {
            StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
            for(int i = 0; i<= strArray.length-1; i++) {
                if(i == strArray.length-1) {
                    builder.append("'"+strArray[i]+"'");
                }else {
                    builder.append("'"+strArray[i]+"'"+",");
                }
            }
            return builder.toString();
        }

Answer 2

In java 8 for none string array and none primitive object (Long, Integer, ...)

List<Long> ids = Arrays.asList(1l, 2l,3l);
ids.stream().map(String::valueOf).collect(Collectors.joining(","))))

In java 8 for specific field of an objets array (example a car with 2 fields color and speed)

List<Car> cars= Cars.asList(car1, cars2,car3);
    cars.stream().map(Car::getColor).collect(Collectors.joining(","))))

Combine map with valueOf for none String field of an array of objects

Answer 3

You can also use org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils API to form a comma separated result from string array in Java.

StringUtils.join(strArr,",");

Answer 4

Nice and simple: but java8 required!

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

Answer 5

use StringBuilder and iterate over your String[], and append each String into it:

public static String convert(String[] name) { 
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for (String st : name) { 
        sb.append('\'').append(st).append('\'').append(',');
    }
    if (name.length != 0) sb.deleteCharAt(sb.length()-1);
    return sb.toString();
}

Answer 6

here is a Utility method to split an array and put your custom delimiter, using

String.replace(String,String)
Arrays.toString(Object[])

here it is :

public static String toString(String delimiter, Object[]array){
    String s = "";

    // split array
    if (array != null && array.length > 0) {
        s = Arrays.toString(array).replace("[", "").replace("]", "");
    }

    // place delimiter (notice the space in ", ")
    if(delimiter != null){
        s = s.replace(", ", delimiter);
    }

    return s;
}

change the second argument type to suite your array type
