How to parse a URL without query paramterers?

Question

This is my URL which i get after scanning a bar code :-

 https://www.dubrovniksecrets.com/use.php?101720131|02|03|2018.04.30|blah

How can i retrieve the values from the URL? Since there is no key i cannot use getQueryParameterName() to extract the value.

The characters after ? are all parameters or values... I don't get a key in this. — Saathwik, Apr 02 '18 at 08:19

You will have to manually parse it. first cut off the first part, before ?:

String url = "https://www.dubrovniksecrets.com/use.php?101720131|02|03|2018.04.30|b";
String paramsString = url.split("?")[1];

Then you can split the params:

String[] params = paramsString.split("|");

Now you have an array or the values.

Dangling metacharacter error on question mark symbol? – Saathwik Apr 02 '18 at 08:21
@Saathwik, have no idea what you are talking about. – Vladyslav Matviienko Apr 02 '18 at 08:23
But i get individual numbers in the array... How can i get the entire value after `|` symbol? – Saathwik Apr 02 '18 at 08:26
@Saathwik, you've asked for `How can i retrieve the values from the URL`. I thought that it is exactly `individual numbers`. Can you clarify what you want to get form that URL? – Vladyslav Matviienko Apr 02 '18 at 08:27
I need the entire values after `|` symbol... ex : 101720131 – Saathwik Apr 02 '18 at 08:29
@Saathwik, `101720131` is not after "|". And if you want to get `101720131`, then you will get it in the first element of the `params` array using my code. – Vladyslav Matviienko Apr 02 '18 at 08:32
@pskink, and what should I do with your comment? What did you want to say with it? – Vladyslav Matviienko Apr 02 '18 at 09:22
@pskink, no need to what? – Vladyslav Matviienko Apr 02 '18 at 09:24
@pskink, same way there is no need for `Uri.parse`. Also how are you going to get `101720131` from it without `string.split()`? – Vladyslav Matviienko Apr 02 '18 at 09:28
@pskink, why removing your comments so fast? – Vladyslav Matviienko Apr 02 '18 at 09:39
