ClassCastException String to Object[]

I am using the following code:

{
    // ...
    String[] roles = new String[resultList.size()];
    int i=0;
    for (Iterator<Object[]> iter = resultList.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
        roles[i] = new String();
        Object[] objArr = iter.next();
        roles[i] = objArr[0].toString();
        i++;
    }
return roles;
}

However, I get a ClassCastException saying cannot cast from java.lang.String to Object[].

try this:

{
    // ...
    String[] roles = new String[resultList.size()];
    int i=0;
    for (Iterator<String> iter = resultList.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {            
        roles[i] = iter.next();
        i++;
    }
    return roles;
}

Can you make this:

Object[] objArr = iter.next();

Into this:

  String[] objArr = (String[]) iter.next();

Try this to convert an Object list to a String array:

    // Create an object list and add some strings to it
    List<Object> objectList = new ArrayList<>();
    objectList.add("A");
    objectList.add("B");
    objectList.add("C");

    // Create an String array with the same size of the object list
    String[] stringArray = new String[objectList.size()];

    // Iterate over the object list to fill the string array, invoking toString() in each object to get a textual representation from it
    for (int i = 0; i < objectList.size(); i++) {
        Object object = objectList.get(i);
        stringArray[i] = object.toString();
    }

    // Iterate over the string array to print the strigs
    for (String string : stringArray) {
        System.out.println(string);
    }
