Android/Java: Split Data in an Array and display
<p>I am trying to do something extremely basic! And it wont work :(. I feel like I'm going in circles.</p>

<p>Here's the rundown: I would like the user to input a series of numbers into an EditText box (separated by comma's). After the add button is selected a split method will separate each number into its own slot in a String[]. EVENTUALLY, if I can get this part to work, the numbers will be pulled out of the array and converted to doubles.Then they will be used in a calculation or two. I have tried several different ways of getting this done and it seems like the problem is coming from the split method or for-loop. The code listed below returns an empty string.</p>

<p>Also, through my trial and error I ended up with a return method calculate(). How much stuff can a cram in an onClick method? Was this a bad idea? Please be as a brutal as needed!!! I'm new to android. Thanks in advance.</p>
