How to convert String to array/object/LIst

Question

String str = "[[28.667949,77.287067,232,0,0.8,5],[28.667949,77.287067,232,0,0.8,5]]";

I have a String, and want to convert it into any type either in Array,List or Object except String.

Expected Output :

 List/Array/Object =
 [[28.667949,77.287067,232,0,0.8,5],[28.667949,77.287067,232,0,0.8,5]]

Answer 1

you have to do

List ls = Arrays.asList(str.replaceAll("\\[", "").replaceAll("\\]", "").split(","));

Answer 2

There is work around for this

1.) First replace all '[' and ']' with ""

str = str.replaceAll("[","");
str = str.replaceAll("]","");

2.)Then u can split the string with ","

which gives u an array.
String[] split = str.split(",");

Answer 3

If groups of data is important, here's an algo:

1. create new List<List<String>> strList
2. String [] strs= str.split("],")
3. loop each str in strs
  3.1 replace all existence of "[" and "]" of str
  3.2 strList.add(Arrays.asList(str.split(",")))

Hope this helps!
