Print array without brackets and commas

You can use join method from android.text.TextUtils class like:

TextUtils.join("",array);

Basically, don't use ArrayList.toString() - build the string up for yourself. For example:

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
for (String value : publicArray) {
    builder.append(value);
}
String text = builder.toString();

(Personally I wouldn't call the variable publicArray when it's not actually an array, by the way.)

Replace the brackets and commas with empty space.

String formattedString = myArrayList.toString()
    .replace(",", "")  //remove the commas
    .replace("[", "")  //remove the right bracket
    .replace("]", "")  //remove the left bracket
    .trim();           //remove trailing spaces from partially initialized arrays
