You don't need to use String#replaceAll method, which takes a regex as parameter. Rather, just use String#replace method, and you need to escape the \\ with another backslash. And you need to re-assign the replaced string to your target string, since string is immutable, and the replacement will not affect the current string, rather return a new string: -

tempLabelForListView[i] = tempLabelForListView[i].replace("\\/", "");

As for String#replaceAll method, since it takes a regex, you would need to escape the backslash twice. Once for Java and once for regex . So, you would need 4 backslashes to make it work with replaceAll : -

tempLabelForListView[i] = tempLabelForListView[i].replaceAll("\\\\/", "");

But still, you don't need it here.
