Convert List<Object> to String[] in Java

问题:

I need to convert from List<Object> to String[].

I made:

List<Object> lst ...
String arr = lst.toString();

But I got this string:

["...", "...", "..."]

is just one string, but I need String[]

Thanks a lot.

回答1:

You have to loop through the list and fill your String[].

String[] array = new String[lst.size()];
int index = 0;
for (Object value : lst) {
  array[index] = (String) value;
  index++;
}

If the list would be of String values, List then this would be as simple as calling lst.toArray(new String[0]);

回答2:

You could use toArray() to convert into an array of Objects followed by this method to convert the array of Objects into an array of Strings:

Object[] objectArray = lst.toArray();
String[] stringArray = Arrays.copyOf(objectArray, objectArray.length, String[].class);

回答3:

If we are very sure that List<Object> will contain collection of String, then probably try this.

List<Object> lst = new ArrayList<Object>();
lst.add("sample");
lst.add("simple");
String[] arr = lst.toArray(new String[] {});
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(arr));

回答4:

Java 8 has the option of using streams like:

List<Object> lst = new ArrayList<>();
String[] strings = lst.stream().toArray(String[]::new);

回答5:

Lot of concepts here which will be useful:

List<Object> list = new ArrayList<Object>(Arrays.asList(new String[]{"Java","is","cool"}));
String[] a = new String[list.size()];
list.toArray(a);

Tip to print array of Strings:

System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a));

Using Guava

List<Object> lst ...    
List<String> ls = Lists.transform(lst, Functions.toStringFunction());
