How do I convert an arrayList to an array []

I want to create a generic method that I can pass a Collection ( An ArrayList if I have to be specific ) and also tell this method the underlying Object type the Collection contains and have it call the Collections.toArray method and create an array [] of the type I specify.
Part of the problem is how do I have the method resolve the return type at run time and how do I use the Class variable to tell it the type of objects the Collection holds.
Fo instance I load an ArrayList with 3 MyClass objects.
I want to pass this to the method and have it return me an array of Type MyClass containing 3 items.
I don't want to have to be tied to a method with the signature
public MyClass [] convert( ArrayList myList ){ ... }Thanks ...

Since it is an "old system" I doubt that is feasible. Also I believe that this was intentionally left out of the API because specifying the array type is more natural than the Class object and using the normal approach you get back the same zero-length array that you passed in if the collection is of size zero. It does look nice from a "caller" perspective though.

How can I convert an ArrayList to a String[]

Hi,
How can I convert an ArrayList (only with strings) to a String[] ?
I've tried this :
     public static String listToString(List l) {
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
          Iterator iter = l.iterator();
          while (iter.hasNext()) {
               sb.append(iter.next().toString());
               if (iter.hasNext()) {
                    sb.append(',');
          return sb.toString();
But what I get is an array of xxxxx@435634 (for example).
Thanks a lot !

Strings are Objects but not all Objects are Strings and at least one of the elements in your List is not a String.

How do I convert an Object into an Array?

If I have an instance of type object that I know is really a DataGrid row that was cast into an object when passed to a function, how can I cast that Object to an array, such that each index of this array would correspond to the information in a given column of the row?

@Sathyamoorthi
Can you please explain what this function does? Essentially, what should be contained in the String?
I printed out the string and it seems like I am getting a random row in the Object, as opposed to first or last. Why is that?
UPDATE: I printed out the value of dataGrid0.columns[5].dataField but it just turned out to be the id of the column.

Hi,
there is function Advansed\Data Manipulation\Join numbers.
It get 2 numbers of 8\16 bits and join them to one 16\32 bits number.
In your case you need to take 2 MSB 8-bits numbers and join to 16-bits number. Same thing do for 2 LSB numbers.
After this join to 16-bits numbers to one 32-bits.
I hope that help you.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

How can I move an ArrayList from one method to another?

As the subject reveals, I want to know how I move an ArrayList. In one method, I fill my ArrayList with objects, and in the next I want to pick an arbitrary object out of the ArrayList.
How do I make this work??

You pass the same array list to both the method. Both method are getting the same thing.
void main(){
//create array list here
ArrayList aList = new ArrayList();
//pass it to a method to fill items
fillArrayList(aList);
//pass the same arraylist to another method
printArrayList(aList);
void fillArrayList(ArrayList list){
list.add("A");
void printArrayList(ArrayList list){
//The array list will contain A added by the previos method
System.out.println(list);

How can I convert an InputStream to a FileInputStream ???

How can I convert an InputStream to a FileInputStream ???

Thanks for you reply, however, I am still stuck.
I am trying to convert my application (which runs smoothly) to a signed applet. The following is the original (application) code:
private void loadConfig() {
String fileName = "resources/groupconfig";
File name = new File(fileName);
if(name.isFile()) {
try {
     ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileName));
     pAndGConfig = (PAGroupsConfig)in.readObject();
     in.close();
     return;
} catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
     System.err.println("++ERROR: "+e);
} catch(IOException e) {
     System.err.println("++ERROR: "+e);
System.out.println("Can't find file: " + fileName);
Because all code and resources now reside in a Jar file (for the signed applet), I must use the following line to access the resources:
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(fileName);
I then need to convert the 'InputStream' to 'ObjectInputStream' or 'FileInputStream' so that I can work with it.
I would be very grateful if you could help shed some light on the matter - Cobram

In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4
