Ross, you can use Arrays.copyof() or Arrays.copyOfRange() too.
Integer[] integerArray = Arrays.copyOf(a, a.length, Integer[].class);
Integer[] integerArray = Arrays.copyOfRange(a, 0, a.length, Integer[].class);
Here the reason to hitting an ClassCastException
is you can’t treat an array of Integer
as an array of Object
. Integer[]
is a subtype of Object[]
but Object[]
is not a Integer[]
.
And the following also will not give an ClassCastException
.
Object[] a = new Integer[1];
Integer b=1;
a[0]=b;
Integer[] c = (Integer[]) a;
