I'm doing a get call and getting the response through InputStreamReader. So my string looks like this.
"["a", "b", "c"]"
I need to iterate through that string. I've tried making into arraylist using List, JSONArray, but cannot seem to loop through.
I rarely work with Java so I'm lost. Please help.
Below logic will help to loop the string array,
String[] input = {"a", "b", "c"};
List<String> stringList = Arrays.asList(input);
for (String str : stringList) {
System.out.println(str);
// your logic on looped string
}
Is that the whole response? Typically, you get a JSON or XML object or something of that sort in the response, and you can use some existing libraries to parse fields from it for you. See if that is the case.
If not, then it is simply a raw String. In that case, you need to use String operations to parse it. Use String.split(", ") which should give you a String array with 3 strings: ["a", "b", "c"]. you can use Arrays.asList() on this to get an ArrayList from this.
