Java convert Arraylist<Float> to float[]
Loop over it yourself.
List<Float> floatList = getItSomehow();float[] floatArray = new float[floatList.size()];int i = 0;for (Float f : floatList) { floatArray[i++] = (f != null ? f : Float.NaN); // Or whatever default you want.}
The nullcheck is mandatory to avoid NullPointerException
because a Float
(an object) can be null
while a float
(a primitive) cannot be null
at all.
In case you're on Java 8 already and it's no problem to end up with double[]
instead of float[]
, consider Stream#mapToDouble()
(no there's no such method as mapToFloat()
).
List<Float> floatList = getItSomehow();double[] doubleArray = floatList.stream() .mapToDouble(f -> f != null ? f : Float.NaN) // Or whatever default you want. .toArray();
You can use Apache Commons ArrayUtils.toPrimitive()
:
List<Float> list = new ArrayList<Float>();float[] floatArray = ArrayUtils.toPrimitive(list.toArray(new Float[0]), 0.0F);
