Call split, iterate over the result and add it to your list (or directly convert the String[] to ArrayList) — runDOSrun, Feb 20 '15 at 14:37

Assuming comma(,) is your delimiter, you can do this with

new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList( str.split(",") ));

First Way:

String str = "test,abc,123,xyz,win,hk";
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(str.split(",")));
System.out.println(list);

Second Way:

List<String> list1 = new ArrayList<String>();
  for(int win = 0; win < str.split(",").length; win++ ){
    list1.add(str.split(",")[win]);
  }
System.out.println(list1);
