Convert from List to Array

To convert from List to Array, use the toArray method of java.util.List.

package com.devkuma.tutorial;

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

public class Foo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Create List
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
        list.add("Test1");
        list.add("Test2");
        list.add("Test3");

        // Convert List to array
        String[] array = list.toArray(new String[list.size()]);
        
        // Display array
        for (String value : array) {
            System.out.println(value);
        }
    }
}
