An alternative to the usage of instanceof

    for (Object object : mylist) {
        if(object.getClass().equals(String.class)){
            System.out.println(object);
        }
    }

What about the following? 

for (Object item : myList) {
    if (item instanceof String) {
         // retrieve.
         String myString = (String) item;
    }
}

try

for (Object object : mylist) {
    if(object instanceof  String){
        System.out.println(object);
    }
}

Check the object type ,while iterating.

 for (Object object : mylist) {
    if(object instanceof  String){
        System.out.println(object);
    }
}
