how to select data from a array sequentially

Question

I have 3 emails

String[] emails = {"x@gmail.com", "y@gmail.com", "z@gmail.com"}

I want the code to select x@gmail.com first, y@gmail.com second, and z@gmail.com third, and plug it into this command :

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.EditText[@index='2']")).sendKeys(emails);

But how do I make it so it selects x@gmail.com first, y@gmail.com second, and z@gmail.com last?

By looping over each email address in emails and calling your method one after the other. I would use a for-each loop. Read it like for each String e in emails call the method sendKeys.

for (String e : emails) { 
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.EditText[@index='2']"))
        .sendKeys(e); 
}

You can use a comparator to sort them (that is if all emails are @gmail.com).

Arrays.sort(emails);

This would sort the array lexicographically and you can iterate over the array to get them from start - end

for (String email: emails){
    //Do your thing
}
