Something like the standard Collection toArray T    should do what you need  note that ArrayList implements Collection    TypeA   array   a toArray new TypeA a size        On a side note  you should consider defining a to be of type List lt TypeA gt  rather than ArrayList lt TypeA gt   this avoid some implementation specific definition that may not really be applicable for your application   Also  please see this question about the use of a size   instead of 0 as the size of the array passed to a toArray TypeA

You can use this code   ArrayList lt TypeA gt  a   new ArrayList lt TypeA gt     Object   o   a toArray      Then if you want that to get that object back into TypeA just check it with instanceOf method

Convert an ArrayList to an object   array   ArrayList has a constructor that takes a Collection  so the common  idiom is   List lt T gt  list   new ArrayList lt T gt  Arrays asList array      Which constructs a copy of the list created by the array   now  Arrays asList array  will wrap the array  so changes to the list  will affect the array  and visa versa  Although you can t add or remove   elements from such a list
