Question

Working on an Android app and I am getting back a one line response from a website similar to “Item 1”, “Item 2”, “Item 3”
I need to convert the one line into a list to use in the array adapter for the simplelistitem. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Here is the code.

try {
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(webs,"iso-8859-1"),8);
    String[] names = new String[] {reader.readLine()};
    webs.close();
    setListAdapter (new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, names));
} catch(Exception e) {
    Log.e("Log_tag", "Error converting results"+e.toString());
}

Maybe this code will do for you:

String namesString = reader.readLine();
String [] names = namesString.split(", ");
//optional if you wish to remove the quotes
for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
   names[i] = names[i].substr(1, names[i].length() - 1);
}
//use it as you wish
