Well in general   List lt String gt  names   new ArrayList lt String gt     names add  john    names add  ann     String   namesArr   new String names size     for  int i   0  i  lt  names size    i          namesArr i    names get i         Or better yet  using built in   List lt String gt  names   new ArrayList lt String gt     String   namesArr   names toArray new String names size
