Java Convert Map to Array Example

Let's write a Java program to convert Map values to String array.

Convert Map Values to Array Example

First, let’s look at converting the values of the Map into an array, using plain java:
package net.javaguides.corejava;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class MapToArrayExample {
    public String[] mapValuesToArray(Map < Integer, String > sourceMap) {
        Collection < String > values = sourceMap.values();
        String[] targetArray = values.toArray(new String[values.size()]);
        return targetArray;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        MapToArrayExample mapToArrayExample = new MapToArrayExample();
        Map < Integer, String > sourceMap = new HashMap < > ();
        sourceMap.put(100, "ABC");
        sourceMap.put(101, "PQR");
        sourceMap.put(102, "XYZ");
        String[] targetArray = mapToArrayExample.mapValuesToArray(sourceMap);
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(targetArray));
    }
}
Output:
[ABC, PQR, XYZ]
