To split Strings from a MultiAutoCompleteTextView and set it to different textview

I have a array of strings which is a resultant of options selected from a MultiAutoCompleteTextView using the comma tokenizer. The string appears as below: "India, China, Japan, America, Australia"

I need to seperate this values based on the coma positiona and set those values to different textview's. Also I need to restrict the users to select only 5 values and those values should not be repeated.

You can use String.split() like this:

String[] array = yourString.split(",");

And iterate through that array.

EDIT:

To check if the user already selected the item, you can add an OnItemClickListener to your multiAutoCompleteTextView and have a HashSet or a Set where your items clicked are stored and check if this item already exists in the set

Example:

Initialize your HashSet first: HashSet<String> hashset = new HashSet<String>();

And later:

youMultiAutoCompleteTv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

            String itemClicked = parent.getAdapter().getItem(position).toString();
            if(hashset.contains(itemClicked)){
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Item exists", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            else {
                hashset.add(itemClicked);
            }


        }
    });
