How could I split a String into an array in Kotlin?

val strs = "name, 2012, 2017".split(",").toTypedArray()

If we have a string of values that splited by any character like ",":

 val values = "Name1 ,Name2, Name3" // Read List from somewhere val lstValues: List<String> = values.split(",").map { it -> it.trim() } lstValues.forEach { it ->                Log.i("Values", "value=$it")                //Do Something            }

It's better to use trim() to delete spaces around strings if exist.Consider that if have a "," at the end of string it makes one null item, so can check it with this code before split :

 if ( values.endsWith(",") )     values = values.substring(0, values.length - 1)

if you want to convert list to Array ,use this code:

      var  arr = lstValues.toTypedArray()      arr.forEach {  Log.i("ArrayItem", " Array item=" + it ) }

Simple as it is:

val string: String = "leo_Ana_John"val yourArray: List<String> = string.split("_")

you get: yourArray[0] == leo, yourArray[1] == Ana, yourArray[2]==John

In this case, just change the "_" from my code to ", " of yours. Se bellow

    val yourArray: List<String> = string.split(", ")
