Hi All,
How to convert String to Collection.

Example:

Collection c = null;
String str = "News";

c = (Collection)c.?();


Whether it is possible to convert the string to collection.
OR Is there some other procedures to get the collection from string.

Thanks in Advance.

As far as I know, you can't convert a String into a Collection but you can definately convert an array of strings into Collection using Arrays.asList() method which returns a fixed size List...and List IS A Collection !!!

Strings and collections are two entirely different things. What do you expect the collection you want to contain? Do you want a collection with one element (the string itself)? Or do you want a collection that contains the characters in the string as separate elements?

If you really want to convert a String to a collection. You can see a String as an array of Chars and then convert that array into a collection. See the code example below
