Can't cast config.getStringList().toArray() as String[]

Okay, so my plugin CoolStoryBro randomly assigns people "bro names" from a giant list. I'm trying to put that list in my config file, but having trouble with object types. Here's my troubled code (CC BY-SA, jsyk): http://pastebin.com/PjSHDzhF

Here is the log of the error I'm getting, if you want to see it: http://pastebin.com/5iHGRunj

And lastly, here is what I got when I logged bronameslist.toString() right after the line "bronameslist = config.getStringList("bro_names", null);" As you can see, every object is a String: http://pastebin.com/RwmTxvhp


Can someone tell me how to get around this ClassCastException? Do I have to loop through the List and cast each individual element as a String?

Thanks!

 

You shouldn't have to cast it at all. I think.

 

Nope, Eclipse gives an error if I don't do something about it. The first (and only useful) suggestion it give to fix it is casting as String[].

 

.toArray returns Object[] , but there is parameter. Example to get a String[]:
String[] myarray = mylist.toArray(new String[mylist.size()]);
Cant explain much as im on my iphone but hopefully that makes sense

 

I saw that earlier looking through the Arrays Javadocs, but completely forgot about it. Seems to have worked perfectly, thanks tips48!

 

Any time . I only know because I had a similar problem

 

Lol, it definitely worked, thanks so much! CoolStoryBro v0.3 is going up right now.
