How to access array boolean value -- array required, but Object found

Question

I am having trouble accessing an array Boolean value such as the following...

boolean[][] sub = new boolean[][];
Object[] record = new Object[];

record[0] = sub;

if ( record[0][0][1] == false )
{
    // Do something
}

When I set a watch, I get Type of boolean and value of false. The compiler gives an error of array required, but Object found.

The record[] array is of type object but contains a boolean[][] array within each index. I have tried casting but it isn't working ( i.e. (boolean)record[0][0][1] ). Does anyone have ideas on how to access the boolean value?

A lot of code / information is need to come up to a correct wanted solution. — StackFlowed

If each element of record is boolean, the casting should be done on the first access to that array:

if ( ((boolean[][])(record[0]))[0][1] == false )
{
    // Do something
}

Or better yet, instead of comparing to false, just evaluate the array's content:

if ( !((boolean[][])(record[0]))[0][1] )
{
    // Do something
}
