How to convert String into String Array in Java? [duplicate]

Question

I have a string with city names separated with commas like this: {Tokyo, New York, Amsterdam}

How do you convert this to a String[] array like {"Tokyo", "New York", "Amsterdam"}

@Meiko That one shows how to split one word into individual letters. This question asks how to split the string by the commas. — Lincoln White

Split on ",".

String st = "Tokyo, New York, Amsterdam"
String[] arr = st.split(",");

If st has '{' and '}'. You might want to do something along the lines of...

st = st.replace("{","").replace("}","");

to get rid of the '{' and '}'.
