How to split string in android

Question

Suppose i have a String, below

String myText="I'm a android developer and i'm developing an android app";

so i want to split the above string with(" ' "), and want to put it on a textView so how it is possible. i have used this code

split(Pattern.quote("'"));

so my complete code is :

 textUser.setText(User);
        String[] newDesc=Description1.split(Pattern.quote("'"));
        for(String w:newDesc){
            textDesc.setText(w);
        }

but this is not working. Please resolve my issue

Simply you can do this as String[] newDesc=Description1.split("'"); — Sukhbir

I believe Pattern.quote() wrapps your RegExp so that it only works if the matching string in inside quotes.

In other words, I do not believe in this case it would work.

A simple String[] newDesc=Description1.split("'"); should work.

Use the below code to understand the split string you need:

Example : String myText = "I'm a android developer and i'm developing an android app";

String[] strParts = myText.split("'");

Then

String strFirstString = strParts[0]; // I
String strSecondString = strParts[1]; // m a android developer and i
String strThirdString = strParts[2]; // m developing an android

Now display whichever String you want, in your textView.
