How to convert List to Array

[Java Tip]

Code:

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

/** List to array */
public class ToArray {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    List list = new ArrayList();
    list.add("Blobbo");
    list.add("Cracked");
    list.add("Dumbo");
    // list.add(new Date()); // Don't mix and match!

    // Convert a collection to Object[], which can store objects
    // of any type.
    Object[] ol = list.toArray();
    System.out.println("Array of Object has length " + ol.length);

    // This would throw an ArrayStoreException if the line
    // "list.add(new Date())" above were uncommented.
    String[] sl = (String[]) list.toArray(new String[0]);
    System.out.println("Array of String has length " + sl.length);
  }
}
