Java function for arrays like PHP's join()?

Starting from Java8 it is possible to use String.join().

String.join(", ", new String[]{"Hello", "World", "!"})

Generates:

Hello, World, !

Otherwise, Apache Commons Lang has a StringUtils class which has a join function which will join arrays together to make a String.

For example:

StringUtils.join(new String[] {"Hello", "World", "!"}, ", ")

Generates the following String:

Hello, World, !

If you were looking for what to use in android, it is:

String android.text.TextUtils.join(CharSequence delimiter, Object[] tokens)

for example:

String joined = TextUtils.join(";", MyStringArray);

In Java 8 you can use

1) Stream API :

String[] a = new String[] {"a", "b", "c"};
String result = Arrays.stream(a).collect(Collectors.joining(", "));

2) new String.join method: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21756398/466677

3) java.util.StringJoiner class: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/StringJoiner.html
