TestNG : How to return List<String> from DataProvider method

I am quite new to TestNG.

Following is my test method

@Test(dataProvider="getHRServiceData")
public void executeHRService(List<String> inputValues)
{
    //some code here
}

As you can see this method requires List inputValues as argument.

Following is my code for getHRServiceData() method

public Object[][] getHRServiceData() throws Exception 
{
    List<String> inputValues=Utils.getInputDataFromExcelFileAsList("HR");
    Object[][] objArray  = new Object[inputValues.length][]; 
    //Code to convert List<String> to Object[][]
}

In this method I get inputValues values in the form of List

But as return type is Object[][] I need to convert List into Object[][]

I am not sure how to convert List into Object[][]

Could you please help me here.

Try something like this :

@DataProvider (name = "getHRServiceData")
public Object[][] getHRServiceData() {
    return new Object[][] {
            {
                   Utils.getInputDataFromExcelFileAsList("HR");
            },
    };
}
