tJavaRow List to String conversion

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I have a tJavaRow with the line of code below:
myarray = ((java.util.List<String>)globalMap.get("input_row.ReturnValue")).toArray();
But I get the error:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from Object[] to String[]
input_row.ReturnValue is type List and myarray is initialised as type array. What would be the correct syntaxt to return myarray as an array?

Your help much appreciated.
Thanks.

Add "new String" as a parameter to the toArray() method. This block of code demonstrates

		String[] sodas = null;
		
		List<String> sodaList = new ArrayList<String>();
		
		sodaList.add("coke");
		sodaList.add("pepsi");
		sodaList.add("7-up");
		
		sodas = sodaList.toArray(new String);
		for( String s : sodas ) {
			System.out.println(s);
		}

Thanks for your help.
I pasted in the code you sent after trying to modify mine to work but to no avail.
I get the error: ArrayList cannot be resolved to a type. Can you assist?

String[] sodas = null;

List<String> sodaList = new ArrayList<String>();

sodaList.add("coke");
sodaList.add("pepsi");

sodas = sodaList.toArray(new String);

You'll need to import java.util.List and java.util.ArrayList. In the tJavaRow Advanced Settings, add the following to the code editor

import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;

You can also try using out to TjavaRow then:

Create Contex  (Context.Your_context_Name)

** content  is the object the coming from row1 **

Context.Your_context_Name = String.valueOf(row1.content);

Then you can check with print: System.out.print("The string from object is: +Context.Your_context_Name);
