Need to convert String[] and pass it on a parameter that has Any data type, then from Any need to convert it to ArrayList<String>. Tried this but not working as it returns memory address.
arrayOf(anyObject).map { it.toString() }

You need to cast anyObject to Array, not create a new Array with anyObject as Element:
val str = arrayOf("a", "b", "c")
val anyObject: Any = str
val result = (anyObject as Array<*>).map { it.toString() }
println(result) // [a, b, c]

Array<*> is the key, thank you

Just realised that only the first version is correct. The other two do not return List<String>, but List<Any?>, so I am removing them, as they do not correspond to the question asked.
