I have a string which has the values like this (format is the same):
name:xxx
occupation:yyy
phone:zzz
I want to convert this into an array and get the occupation value using indexes.
Any suggestions?

Basically you would use Java's split() function:
String str = "Name:Glenn Occupation:Code_Monkey";
String[] temp = str.split(" ");
String[] name = temp[0].split(":");
String[] occupation = temp[1].split(":");
The resultant values would be:
name[0] - Name
name[1] - Glenn
occupation[0] - Occupation
occupation[1] - Code_Monkey

What in case Name:Glenn Nelson(inclusive of spaces)

am not declaring the String statically, am storing it dynamically, the values comes like one below the other (like Name:Glenn and then in the new line Occupation:Code_Monkey)...??????????
Read about Split functnio. You can split your text by " " and then by ":"

I would recommend using String's split function.

The values comes dynamically, iam storing in a String my question is how to convert that String values into an array and get the value?
Sounds like you want to convert to a property Map rather than an array.
e.g.
String text = "name:xxx occupation:yyy phone:zzz";
Map<String, String> properties = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
for(String keyValue: text.trim().split(" +")) {
String[] parts = keyValue.split(":", 2);
properties.put(parts[0], parts[1]);
}
String name = properties.get("name"); // equals xxx
This approach allows your values to be in any order. If a key is missing, the get() will return null.

If you are only interested in the occupation value, you could do:
String s = "name:xxx occupation:yyy phone:zzz";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(".*occupation:(\\S+).*");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(s);
if (matcher.matches()){
String occupation = matcher.group(1);
}

str = "name:xxx occupation:yyy phone:zzz
name:xx1 occupation:yy3 phone:zz3
name:xx2 occupation:yy1 phone:zz2"
name[0] = str.subtsring(str.indexAt("name:")+"name:".length,str.length-str.indexAt("occupation:"))
occupation[0] = str.subtsring(str.indexAt("occupation:"),str.length-str.indexAt("phone:"))
phone[0] = str.subtsring(str.indexAt("phone:"),str.length-str.indexAt("occupation:"))

I got the solution:
String[] temp= objValue.split("\n");
String[] temp1 = temp[1].split(":");
String Value = temp1[1].toString();
System.out.println(value);
