Store String variable to String Array [duplicate]

Question

this like a string array {hi, hi, hello}, but if I have a string that is shaped like that, can i do this by entering a string variable into the string array ?

like this:
String animal = "kangaroo, rabbit, dog, cat, elephant";
String[] array = { animal };

the result is:
array[0] : kangaroo
array[1] : rabbit

   String animal = "kangaroo, rabbit, dog, cat, elephant";
   String[] array = animal.split(", ");
   System.out.println(Arrays.toString(array));

Use \\s*,\\s* instead of ", " because there may or may not be space(s) after comma.
