Kotlin – Convert comma-separated String into List & List into one String

This Kotlin tutorial gives you a simple example that helps to convert comma-separated String into List & List into one String.

I. Technology

  • Java 1.8

    II. Practice

    1. String into List

    Use CharSequence.split() method that returns a List, then map() each item with CharSequence.trim() method to remove [space] character.
    
    val input: String = "One, Two, Three, Four"

println("=== String into List ===")
var result: List = input.split(",").map { it.trim() }

result.forEach { println(it) }

Result:


=== String into List ===
One
Two
Three
Four

2. List into String
