What have you tried, and what if troubling you? I mean, it's a simple loop with format-to-string, so which part of that can;t you figure out? — Andreas, Sep 26 '16 at 10:43
Do you have an array (title of your question) or a String (your question)? — Markus Mitterauer, Sep 26 '16 at 10:44
So what should be output? A list having 5 values as null, 294, 160, 199, 105 — Rishabh Kumar, Sep 26 '16 at 10:54

Here is a simple way to do it:

List<String> result = Arrays.asList(
    input.substring(1, input.length() - 1).split(",")
);

I'm not sure but you can try this one...

List<String> lst = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String field : inputStr.split(","))
    lst.add(field);

Arrays.asList(str.split(",")); remove first and last chars from the string (the [ and ]) before splitting – Tokazio Sep 26 '16 at 11:00
