What you have should work. If, however, the spaces provided are defaulting to... something else? You can use the whitespace regex:

str = "Hello I'm your String";
String[] splited = str.split("\\s+");

This will cause any number of consecutive spaces to split your string into tokens.

As a side note, I'm not sure "splited" is a word :) I believe the state of being the victim of a split is also "split". It's one of those tricky grammar things :-) Not trying to be picky, just figured I'd pass it on!
