Converting 'ArrayList to 'String[]' in Java

Question

How might I convert an ArrayList object to a String[] array in Java?

Answer 1

In Java 11, we can use the Collection.toArray(generator) method. The following code will create a new array of strings:

List list = List.of("one", "two", "three");
String[] array = list.toArray(String[]::new)

from java.base's java.util.Collection.toArray().
