How to split string into sentences in android and java?

Question

Split method not working with "." in android and java .

String[] extension = selectedItem.getmName().split(".");

You can use `substring(selectedItem.getmName().indexOf('.')+1)` instead. — Zelig63, Mar 01 '20 at 17:31

Try :

String[] extension = FilenameUtils.getExtension(selectedItem.getName())

Simply escape the ".":

String[] sentences = selectedItem.getmName().split("\\.");

Since "." is regex for any character the result would always be an array of 0 length since every character is a delimeter and split only returns what is not a delimeter - which would be nothing.

String[] sentences = selectedItem.getmName().split("\\.");

This must works. This is a special situation for dot.
