How to map Firebase array to Kotlin list?

Question

I want to map array from Firebase as a list of string in Kotlin

I have been searching for answer in may threads but they doesn't answer my question

Now I fetch whole collection and I get DocumentSnapshot. When I do

  list = it["myArray"].toString()

I get string:

list = [text1, text2, text3]

How Can I convert it to list?

You can use split() like,

val newList = list.split(',')

It will split the strings from every occurrence of ',' in it, and will return a list containing all the spliced strings.

Don't forget to remove brackets and whitespaces. fun String.removeBrackets(): String { return this .replace("[", "") .replace("]", "") .trim() }
