I believe we have a better approach to answer this question.

1: Define a function that returns Map values.

Here we go.

public Map<String, String> getUrlValues(String url) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
    int i = url.indexOf("?");
    Map<String, String> paramsMap = new HashMap<>();
    if (i > -1) {
        String searchURL = url.substring(url.indexOf("?") + 1);
        String params[] = searchURL.split("&");

        for (String param : params) {
            String temp[] = param.split("=");
            paramsMap.put(temp[0], java.net.URLDecoder.decode(temp[1], "UTF-8"));
        }
    }

    return paramsMap;
}

2: Call your function surrounding with a try catch block

Here we go

try {
     Map<String, String> values = getUrlValues("https://example.com/index.php?form_id=9&page=1&view_id=78");
     String formId = values.get("form_id");
     String page = values.get("page");
     String viewId = values.get("view_id");
     Log.d("FormID", formId);
     Log.d("Page", page);
     Log.d("ViewID", viewId);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
     Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
}

Assuming the URL syntax will always be http   www youtube com watch v        String v    http   www youtube com watch v  RCIP6OrQrE  substring 31     or disregarding the prefix syntax   String url    http   www youtube com watch v  RCIP6OrQrE   String v   url substring url indexOf  v      2

Import these libraries  import org apache http NameValuePair  import org apache http message BasicNameValuePair    Similar to the verisimilitude  but with the capabilities of handling multivalue parameters  Note  I ve seen HTTP GET requests without a value  in this case the value will be null   public static List lt NameValuePair gt  getQueryMap String query            List lt NameValuePair gt  queryMap   new ArrayList lt NameValuePair gt         String   params   query split Pattern quote   amp            for  String param   params                String   chunks   param split Pattern quote                String name   chunks 0   value   null            if chunks length  gt  1                value   chunks 1                     queryMap add new BasicNameValuePair name  value              return queryMap      Example   GET  bottom gif e235c08 1509896923 amp  49 6E

If you are using Jersey  which I was  my server component needs to make outbound HTTP requests  it contains the following public method   var multiValueMap   UriComponent decodeQuery uri  true    It is part of org glassfish jersey uri UriComponent  and the javadoc is here  Whilst you may not want all of Jersey  it is part of the Jersey common package which isn t too bad on dependencies

I think the one of the easiest ways out would be to parse the string returned by URL getQuery   as  public static Map lt String  String gt  getQueryMap String query          String   params   query split   amp           Map lt String  String gt  map   new HashMap lt String  String gt          for  String param   params              String name   param split      0             String value   param split      1             map put name  value                 return map        You can use the map returned by this function to retrieve the value keying in the parameter name
