Converted a list to an array can be accomplished by calling the toArray() method of the list with a parameter indicating the type of array to create. The ListToArrayTest class takes a list of strings and gets an array of strings from this list.

ListToArrayTest.java

package test;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.commons.lang.ArrayUtils;

public class ListToArrayTest {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

		List<String> strList = new ArrayList<String>();
		strList.add("string1");
		strList.add("string2");
		strList.add("string3");

		String[] strArray = (String[]) strList.toArray(new String[0]);
		System.out.println(ArrayUtils.toString(strArray));

	}

}

Here is the output from ListToArrayTest.
