This is not a duplicate of how to split a string in java, that earlier one is about splitting around a particular character. — James Kingsbery, Mar 16 '15 at 20:44

Simplest way is to find the total split strings, and then inchworm up through the values adding the sub-strings to an ArrayList or something. Probably look a lot like this:

int splits = myString.length()/divisor;
int first = 0;
int second = divisor;
for (int i = 0; i < splits; i++) {
    arrayList.add(myString.substring(first, second));
    first += divisor;
    second += divisor;
}
