Cut String in parts

Question

I'm getting from JSON string like this:

{
  "name":"Google"
  "items": "item1,item2,item3,item4"
}

So I want to create array String[] items and populate it with items from this string. I need somehow to cut this string in parts. Also I'm getting different number of items, not only 4, like in example.

How can I do this....?

In general, try to google this very basic stuff first. Chances are very, very low that no one before you tried to split a string and posted it online. — luuksen, Nov 28 '14 at 15:06

Look at String.split() you can pass in a char that will split up your string and return an array
