Convert a List into an Array with Strings

Posted on April 11, 2008 by Lars Vogel

I always have to look this up 🙁 hence I take down here a note:

list.toArray(new String[list.size()]);

This converts an List, e.g. ArrayList to an Array with Strings. Of course the objects in the list must be Strings.
