Can someone guide me how to convert ArrayList<String> to ArrayList<Object> ??

Object is a class written by me with some getters and setters..

Never ever name an own class Object, even though it is legal Java code. – Andreas_D Jan 24 '11 at 8:19

List<Object> lstObj = new ArrayList<Object>();
for(String str: strList){
  if(str==null)
     lstObj.add(null);
  }else{
     lstObj.add((Object)(str));
  }
}

I think he means a custom Object. not java.lang.Object – The Scrum Meister Jan 24 '11 at 8:19
@The, ArrayList<Object> is mentioned explicitly in the OP. – Péter Török Jan 24 '11 at 8:21
@peter i didn't believe it either, however it does say in the question Object is a class written by me.. – The Scrum Meister Jan 24 '11 at 8:23

@The Scrum Meister - I think org.life.java noticed that (and quickly invented the custom constructor :-) ) – Andreas_D Jan 24 '11 at 8:23
@The, oopsie :-( Nice example of confusing question... – Péter Török Jan 24 '11 at 8:25

Have a constructor in your object that takes a string:

List<MyObject> myObjectList = new ArrayList<MyObject>();
for ( String str : stringList )
{
  myObjectList.add( new MyObject( str ) );
}
