cannot convert from object to string tMap

[DM_J]

I have a tJavarow and immediately after that there is tMap

tJavarow has this code:

java.util.List<String> items = new java.util.ArrayList<String>(java.util.Arrays.asList(input_row.Address.split("\\|")));
output_row.add_list = items;

tMap has this code:

Var.address_cat == -1?row13.add_list.get(0).toString():row13.add_list.get(2).toString()

before adding toString I got cannot convert from object to string  error.

My question is why I need to add toString, I've already defined List<String>?

Hi,

this is just a Java rules

List<String> is not equal to String
