Coverting a Boolean object array to boolean primitive array? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You aren't missing anything, the only way to do it is to Iterate over the list I'm afraid

An (Untested) Example:

private boolean[] toPrimitiveArray(final List<Boolean> booleanList) {
    final boolean[] primitives = new boolean[booleanList.size()];
    int index = 0;
    for (Boolean object : booleanList) {
        primitives[index++] = object;
    }
    return primitives;
}

Edit (as per Stephen C's comment): Or you can use a third party util such as Apache Commons ArrayUtils:

Answer 2

Using Guava, you can do boolean[] array = Booleans.toArray(getBoolList());.
