I have a large text file and I want to put it into ArrayList. My text file contain # signs at start, here is text file data.

  #These classes define the style and structure for your dialog, but you should use a DialogFragment as a container for your dialog. The DialogFragment class provides all the controls you need to create your dialog and manage its appearance, instead of calling methods on the Dialog object.

    Use `String.split("#")` to convert to `String[]` and use `Arrays.asList()` – Andrew T. Jan 12 '14 at 14:54

    What have you tried? What methods have you considered using? What did you learn when you searched Google and the existing questions here? – Simon Jan 12 '14 at 14:54

You can split the String using the following code

String[] divide = string.split("#");

then you can use 

List<String> stringList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(divide));

This will convert String array to ArrayList.
