How to pass an array String data as argument?

So, my question is you know how we are able to pass String as argument to a method by just doing method("This","are","Strings");

How can you do this with an array of String when the method is supposed to hold a array. I know that you cant do this method({"This","is","an","array"}); Is there any way of doing something similar? And thank you in advance.

You can do it like this. 

public static void arrayString(String[] params) 
{
   System.out.println(Arrays.toString(params));
}

While calling call it as

arrayString(new String[]{"This","is","an","array"});

You can try this can take an optional list of strings and also you need to make it the last argument and mention other before.

private void method(String... values){
        for (String s : values){

        }
    }

You can send array of strings like below.

method(String[] arr){}

and call that method with string array as argument.

String array = new String[]{"value1","value2"};
method(array);

Just intialize an array of strings and pass it:

method(new String[]{"This", "is", "an", "array"});

Use varargs:

public void method(String... values) {
    //...
}

method("Hello", "World");
