title: Splitting a period-delimited string into multiple strings
body: <p>I have a string</p>
  
  <pre><code>String x = "Hello.August 27th.Links.page 1";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am wondering if I can split this string into 4 other strings based on where the period is. For example, the four other strings would be,</p>
  
  <pre><code>String a = "Hello";
  String b = "August 27th";
  String c = "Links";
  String d = "page 1";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see I basically want to extract certain parts of the string out into a new string, the place where it is extracted is based on where the period is which ends the first string and then shows where the 2nd and, etc. strings end.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <p>In android btw</p>
