Question

I’ve an array with hundreds of string values, Is it possible to use specific formats to make them shorter?

e.g

Normal -> “Hello John, What’s up?!”

With short format -> “Hello John…”

After using substring, I got errors.

private String[] finalString;
for (int i = 0; i < arrays.PodcastTitle.length; i++) {
    finalString[i] = arrays.PodcastTitle[i].substring(0, 5); 
}

Answer 1

Since you haven’t given any details, this is the shortest approach :

String little = normalString.substring(0, 10); // use anything 5 or 10 or 15, depending on how short you want to make your String

From your edit:

Please change:

private String[] finalString;

to:

private String[] finalString = new String[whateverSizeYouWant];
