How to trim white space from all elements in array?

Try this:

String[] trimmedArray = new String[array.length];
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
    trimmedArray[i] = array[i].trim();

Now trimmedArray contains the same strings as array, but without leading and trailing whitespace. Alternatively, you could write this for modifying the strings in-place in the same array:

for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
    array[i] = array[i].trim();
