Convert Arraylist≪String≫ to String[] Array

Convert ArrayList<String> to String[] array

Use like this.

List<String> stockList = new ArrayList<String>();
stockList.add("stock1");
stockList.add("stock2");

String[] stockArr = new String[stockList.size()];
stockArr = stockList.toArray(stockArr);

for(String s : stockArr)
    System.out.println(s);

Converting 'ArrayList<String> to 'String[]' in Java

List<String> list = ..;
String[] array = list.toArray(new String[0]);

For example:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
//add some stuff
list.add("android");
list.add("apple");
String[] stringArray = list.toArray(new String[0]);

The toArray() method without passing any argument returns Object[]. So you have to pass an array as an argument, which will be filled with the data from the list, and returned. You can pass an empty array as well, but you can also pass an array with the desired size.

Important update: Originally the code above used new String[list.size()]. However, this blogpost reveals that due to JVM optimizations, using new String[0] is better now.

Convert ArrayList to String array in Android

Use the method "toArray()"

ArrayList<String>  mStringList= new ArrayList<String>();
mStringList.add("ann");
mStringList.add("john");
Object[] mStringArray = mStringList.toArray();

for(int i = 0; i < mStringArray.length ; i++){
    Log.d("string is",(String)mStringArray[i]);
}

or you can do it like this: (mentioned in other answers)

ArrayList<String>  mStringList= new ArrayList<String>();
mStringList.add("ann");
mStringList.add("john");
String[] mStringArray = new String[mStringList.size()];
mStringArray = mStringList.toArray(mStringArray);

for(int i = 0; i < mStringArray.length ; i++){
    Log.d("string is",(String)mStringArray[i]);
}

     for(int i = 0; i < simpleArray.length ; i++){
     Log.d("string is",(String)simpleArray[i]);
    }

How to convert ArrayList or String Array into String formate?

Use List.toArray():

List<String> backList = new ArrayList<>();
backList.add("abc");
backList.add("xyz");
backList.add("pqr");
String[] blist = backList.toArray(new String[backList.size()]);

And use Arrays.toString() to print it:

Log.e("Log","Array in String=" + Arrays.toString(blist));
