How to Split an ArrayList in Android Using JAVA?

Here is the code to put values in ArrayList and I am unable to split the arraylist with ",". Can someone please help me as to how to achieve this task ? 

           spinnerArrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
           spinnerArrayList.add(menuFieldInstance.getFieldValues());
           Log.i("spinnerArrayList",""+spinnerArrayList);  
          //for(int j=0;j<spinnerArrayList.size();j++)
          //{
          Log.i("spinnerArrayList after splitting ,",""+spinnerArrayList.get(0).split(","));
           //}

Here is the Logcat of Spinner ArrayList and SpinnerArrayList after splitting.............

// try to print this way then you getting actual value at index becz your try to print String[] object rather each index value so do this way
spinnerArrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
spinnerArrayList.add("");
for (int i=0;i<spinnerArrayList.size();i++){
        String[] splitedValue = spinnerArrayList.get(i).split(",");
        for (int j=0;j<splitedValue.length;j++){
            Log.i(i+" at ArrayIndex "+j+" at splitedIndex Value is >> ",splitedValue[j]);
            String[] splitedValue1 = splitedValue[j].split("~");
            if(splitedValue1.length==1){
                continue;
            }
            for (int k=0;k<splitedValue1.length;k++){
                Log.i(j+" at splitedIndex "+k+" at splited1Index Value is >> ",splitedValue1[k]);
            }
        }

You can't split ArrayList. You can split String, e.g "I am some String, you can split me".split(",") will return an array of 2 Strings, but ArrayList is a data structure which holds some Strings and it doesn't mean that they are separated with comma. You can try to split each item of the list, e.g.

for (String s : spinnerArrayList) {
    String[] res = s.split(",");
    // do smth with res
}

spinnerArrayList.get(0).split(",") doesn't split "the arrayList" it splits the string at index zero, and since the returned result is an array of strings - you can't concatenate it using the + operator to another string:

Log.i("spinnerArrayList after splitting ,",""+spinnerArrayList.get(0).split(","));

Read the splitted string into a String array first:

String[] arr = spinnerArrayList.get(0).split(",");

and then loop the array and print the values"

for(String val: arr){
    Log.i(val);
}
