Getting from a list using bukkit configuration

Going straight to the point,

I've found a thread on how to MAKE lists using the built-in .getConfig().
https://forums.bukkit.org/threads/how-to-create-a-config-list.92030/


Question is, how do I get strings/integers from that list?

Any help is appreciated.

 

to save

Code:java

config.set(yourKey, yourList);

to load

Code:java

config.getStringList(yourKey);
config.getShortList(yourKey);
config.getLongList(yourKey);
config.getMapList(yourKey);
config.getIntegerList(yourKey)

Any of these

I've actually just tried out the adding to list, giving me an error.
How do I add player names to a list, then adding it to the config?

 

Show me your attempt then?
It's basically just retrieve the list from the config, add to the list, set the new list to the config.

By the way, I'd avoid using getList(), as it will return a list parameterised with a wildcard, which may not be desirable.

That is exactly it. I'm using getList().

Code:java

                if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("create")){
                    List<String> guildMembers = (List<String>)this.getConfig().getList("list");
                    guildMembers.add("test");
                    guildMembers.add("test2");
                    this.getConfig().set("list", guildMembers);
                    this.saveConfig();
                    p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN+"Guild created.");
                }

Well, use getStringList()...it will give you a List<String> so there is no need to cast anything, and you'll get a safer result overall

Awesome. Trying it out now..

EDIT: Fantastic. Works great, thanks.
