Convert Vector to Object array example
With this example we are going to demonstrate how to convert a Vector to an Object array. In order to convert a Vector to Object array we need to fill the array with all the elements in the vector in the correct order. In short, to convert a Vector to an object array you should:
- Create a new Vector.
- Populate the vector with elements, with
add(E e)
API method of Vector. - Invoke
toArray()
API method of Vector. The method returns a new Object array that contains all the elements in the vector in correct order.
Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core; import java.util.Vector; public class ConvertVectorToObjectArray { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a Vector and populate it with elements Vector vector = new Vector(); vector.add("element_1"); vector.add("element_2"); vector.add("element_3"); vector.add("element_4"); vector.add("element_5"); // toArray() returns an array containing all of the elements in this vector in the correct order Object[] objArray = vector.toArray(); System.out.println("Elements in Array :"); for(int i=0; i < objArray.length ; i++) System.out.println(objArray[i]); } }
Output:
Elements in Array :
element_1
element_2
element_3
element_4
element_5
This was an example of how to convert a Vector to an Object array in Java.
