Splitting String based on occurrence

I want to split a String based on first occurrence but when I try to use String.split("\_",1) - It gives me arrayOutOfBounds Exception

array[0] = "this_first";
array[1] = "Not_first";
array[2] = "Maybe_Like_this";
array[3] = "This_is_definitely_it";

for(int i=0;i<array.length;i++){
        tmparr = array[i].split("\\_");
        firstWord = tmparr[0];
        System.out.println(firstWord);
        tempString = tmparr[1];

I want just the first word in tmparr[0] and rest all in tmparr[1]. Please advice

The limit parameter for String#split(String, int) is defined a little bit strangely. Go back and read the Javadoc, particularly the paragraph starting "The limit parameter...".

TL;DR: What you probably need is this:

tmparr = array[i].split("_", 2);

(Backslash also not required)
