List Return a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException when adding or removing a element

While trying to remove a element after creating a List from a array using the Array.asList(array[]) method I’ve stumbled on that error.

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
at java.util.AbstractList.add(AbstractList.java:131)
at java.util.AbstractList.add(AbstractList.java:91)

Then I remember this, list created by the Arrays.asList method are immutable

Same goes for empty lists. So instead create a arraylist :

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(split));
