How create string array from single string in Kotlin

Question

I have a string line from EditText, all words separated from each other by comma just like this:

"Some, string, words, bla-bla"

And I need to create array from this string, each element would be separate:

"Some", "string", "words", "bla-bla"

So, I saw how it was done on Java here but idk how convert it to kotlin, as I know Kotlin doesn't have split operator

This array I will save in preferences by putStringSet and use in another activity

Kotlin has a split function too. It will return a List<String>. If you you need an array in the end, call toTypedArray():

val strArray: Array<String> = "Some, string, words, bla-bla".split(", ").toTypedArray()
