Type mismatch: cannot convert from Object to List

 CompanyDAO companyDAO = new CompanyDAO();
 List companyList = companyDAO.getAllCompanyList();

MycompanyList contains a data of like this :

 [[1, Agastha Medical Center], [2, Agastha Asthma]]

Now i want to iterate the values and i want to pass a value of 1 to query but when i am placing this inside of a for loop i am getting 

for(int k=0;k<=companyList.size();k++){

List companyId =companyList.get(k);  //  [1, Agastha Medical Center]  for k=0;

Type mismatch: cannot convert from Object to List

I need to read value of 1 alone inside of for loop how can i do this ?

you have to type cast the list 

for(int k=0;k<=companyList.size();k++){

List companyId =(List)companyList.get(k);

Provide the Type of list you want to get from CompanyDAO

Ex. ArrayList<Company>, List<Company>

  1. Don't use raw types use generics. example : Arraylist<String>
  2. List companyId =companyList.get(k) is your error. companyList.get(k) returns an object. you have to typecast it to appropriate type explicitly.

As your companyList is of raw type, you have to cast the object obtained from it explicitly

List companyId = (List) companyList.get(k);

But it would be better to provide your API with types so that casting is not necessary.
