Use a List<String> as below.

            List<String> myList = Arrays.asList(new LinkedList<String>(Arrays.asList(arrayname));
);
                    myList.remove(index);

Deletion in Array is not possible. You can initialize the position with null value but size will not be reduced.

String s="How to delete items from list";
String[] result = s.split("\s");      
result[2] = null;

List<String> arr = new LinkedList<String>(Arrays.asList(result));
arr.remove(2);
arr.remove(3);

System.out.println(arr.toArray(new String[0]));
