Submitted by Rahul on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 19:47

This Java example shows how to convert Java String to ArrayList object.

import java.util.ArrayList;
 
//Java String to ArrayList
 
public class StringToArrayList {
 
    public static void main(String args[]){
       
        //original string containing numbers
        String strNumbers = "One Two Three Four Five";
       
        //split the string using split method of String class
        String[] numbers = strNumbers.split(" ");
       
        //create new ArrayList object
        ArrayList<String> aListNumbers = new ArrayList<String>();
       
        //add individual numbers to the ArrayLists
        for(int i=0; i< numbers.length; i++){
            aListNumbers.add(numbers[i]);
        }
       
        System.out.println("String converted to ArrayList: " + aListNumbers);
    }
}
 
/*
Output of the above given Java String to ArrayList example would be
String converted to ArrayList: [One, Two, Three, Four, Five]
