convert ArrayList to string[]

Question

I have class Person

class person{
int ID ;
sting FirstName ;
string Last Name ;
String Telephone ;

}

and I have ArrayList

Answer 1

Make your ArrayAdapter to use the type person and not String (also, just pass the ArrayList<person> instead of an array) like this:

ArrayAdapter<person> modeAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<person>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, theArrayList);

and then override the person's class toString method:

class person {
        int ID;
        String FirstName;
        String LastName;
        String Telephone;

        @Override
        public String toString() {          
            return "Whatever " + FirstName + " and Whatever  " + LastName;
        }

    }

Answer 2

Better to use Custom Adapter. Here you do not need to convert ArrayList to String ArrayList. You able to set data via array-list position.
