为什么我们不能从Object []转换为String []，而我们可以从数组中的值？

Question

为什么这样运行：

static TreeMap<String, int[]> configs = new TreeMap<String, int[]>(); 

    int[] upperarms_body = {2,3,4,6}; 
    int[] left_arm = {1,2}; 
    int[] right_arm = {6,7}; 
    int[] right_side = {5,6,7}; 
    int[] head_sternum = {3,4}; 


    configs.put("upperarms_body", upperarms_body); 
    configs.put("left_arm", left_arm); 
    configs.put("right_arm", right_arm); 
    configs.put("right_side", right_side); 
    configs.put("head_sternum", head_sternum); 



    // create a config counter 
    String[] combi = new String[configs.keySet().size()]; 

    Set<String> s = configs.keySet(); 
    int g = 0; 
    for(Object str : s){ 
     combi[g] = (String) str; 
    } 

，这不：

static TreeMap<String, int[]> configs = new TreeMap<String, int[]>(); 

    int[] upperarms_body = {2,3,4,6}; 
    int[] left_arm = {1,2}; 
    int[] right_arm = {6,7}; 
    int[] right_side = {5,6,7}; 
    int[] head_sternum = {3,4}; 

    configs.put("upperarms_body", upperarms_body); 
    configs.put("left_arm", left_arm); 
    configs.put("right_arm", right_arm); 
    configs.put("right_side", right_side); 
    configs.put("head_sternum", head_sternum); 



    //get an array of thekeys which are strings 
    String[] combi = (String[]) configs.keySet().toArray(); 

Answer 1

toArray()返回Object[]实例，不能转换为String[]，就像一个Object实例不能在方法投到String：

// Doesn't work: 
String[] strings = (String[]) new Object[0]; 

// Doesn't work either: 
String string = (String) new Object(); 

但是，因为您可以分配给StringObject，你也可以把String到Object[]（这是可能混淆你）：

// This works: 
Object[] array = new Object[1]; 
array[0] = "abc"; 

// ... just like this works, too: 
Object o = "abc"; 

逆是行不通的，当然

String[] array = new String[1]; 
// Doesn't work: 
array[0] = new Object(); 

当你做到这一点（从代码中）：

Set<String> s = configs.keySet(); 
int g = 0; 
for(Object str : s) { 
    combi[g] = (String) str; 
} 

您实际上并不投Object实例到String，你铸造声明为Object类型String一个String实例。

你的问题的解决方案将是任何这些：

String[] combi = configs.keySet().toArray(new String[0]); 
String[] combi = configs.keySet().toArray(new String[configs.size()]); 

参考JavaDoc以获得更多信息关于Collection.toArray(T[] a)

Answer 2

一个Object[]可以有任何类型的对象添加到它。一个String[]只能包含字符串或null

如果你能投你建议的方式，你就能够做到。

Object[] objects = new Object[1]; 
String[] strings = (String[]) objects; // won't compile. 
objects[0] = new Thread(); // put an object in the array. 
strings[0] is a Thread, or a String?
