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.
