Android TextUtils.Split para entregar una cadena de longitud fija []

Question

No puedo obtener una cadena dividida en trozos de longitud fija y agregado a una arraylist ... El código a continuación itera a través de lo esperado, pero todo el MessageToSplit [] hasta el último es nulo.El último en realidad tiene un valor en él.

En el siguiente ejemplo, si el texto de edición devuelto, "01234567890" entonces "", "" y "890".

Pattern p = Pattern.compile(".{4}");
ArrayList<String> myText = new ArrayList<String>();
String[] messageToSplit = TextUtils.split(myStringEditText.getText().toString(), p);
int x = 0;
while(x  <= (myStringEditText.getText().toString().length() / 4)) {
  Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), x+": '" + messageToSplit[x] + "'", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  myText.add(messageToSplit[x]);
  x++;
}

In a split operation, the regex pattern is the separator. For example, if the regex pattern were ;, then 12;34;56 would be split into 12, 34, and 56.

So in your case 01234567890 is split into "" (the string before 0123), "" (the string between 0123 and 4567) and 890 (the remainder of the string after 4567).

You probably don't want to use split but rather something like this:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile(".{1,4}");
Matcher regexMatcher = p.matcher(messageToSplit);
while (regexMatcher.find()) {
    myText.add(regexMatcher.group());
} 

.{1,4} will match 4 characters if it can, but make do with 1-3 if four are no longer available (which might happen at the end of the string if its length is not a multiple of 4).
