How to Convert string variable value to character array in Java Android.

Code for MainActivity.java file.

 package com.convertstringvariablechararray_android_examples.com;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class MainActivity extends Activity {

 TextView textview1,textview2,textview3;
 
 //Initializing string variable.
 String value = "STRING SAMPLE VALUE" ;
 
 //Initializing char variable.
 char[] data;
 
 @Override

 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
 
 textview1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
 textview2 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView2);
 textview3 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView3);

 textview1.setText("String = " + value);
 
 //Showing char array on screen with Comma.
 
 textview2.setText("Char Array = ");
 
 for(int i=0;i<data.length;i++){
 
 textview2.setText(textview2.getText() +""+ data[i] + ", ");
 }
 
 //Showing char array on screen without Comma.
 
 textview3.setText("Char Array without Comma = ");
 
 for(int i=0;i<data.length;i++){
 
 textview3.setText(textview3.getText() +""+ data[i]);
 }
 }
}
