Java: how to convert HashMap<String, Object> to array

If you want the keys and values, you can always do this via the entrySet:

hashMap.entrySet().toArray(); // returns a Map.Entry<K,V>[]

From each entry you can (of course) get both the key and value via the getKey and getValue methods

If you have HashMap<String, SomeObject> hashMap then

hashMap.keySet().toArray();

will return an Object[]. If instead you want an array of the type SomeObject, you could use:

hashMap.keySet().toArray(new SomeObject[0]);

To guarantee the correct order for each array of Keys and Values, use this (the other answers use individual Sets which offer no guarantee as to order.

Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
String[] keys = new String[map.size()];
Object[] values = new Object[map.size()];
int index = 0;
for (Map.Entry<String, Object> mapEntry : map.entrySet()) {
    keys[index] = mapEntry.getKey();
    values[index] = mapEntry.getValue();
    index++;
}

An alternative to CrackerJacks suggestion, if you want the HashMap to maintain order you could consider using a LinkedHashMap instead. As far as im aware it's functionality is identical to a HashMap but it is FIFO so it maintains the order in which items were added.

Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("key1", "value1");
map.put("key2", "value2");

Object[][] twoDarray = new String[map.size()][2];

Object[] keys = map.keySet().toArray();
Object[] values = map.values().toArray();

for (int row = 0; row < twoDarray.length; row++) {
    twoDarray[row][0] = keys[row];
    twoDarray[row][1] = values[row];
}

for (int i = 0; i < twoDarray.length; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < twoDarray[i].length; j++) {
        System.out.println(twoDarray[i][j]);
    }
}

To Get in One Dimension Array.

    String[] arr1 = new String[hashmap.size()];
    String[] arr2 = new String[hashmap.size()];
    Set entries = hashmap.entrySet();
    Iterator entriesIterator = entries.iterator();

    int i = 0;
    while(entriesIterator.hasNext()){

        Map.Entry mapping = (Map.Entry) entriesIterator.next();

        arr1[i] = mapping.getKey().toString();
        arr2[i] = mapping.getValue().toString();

        i++;
    }

To Get in two Dimension Array.

   String[][] arr = new String[hashmap.size()][2];
   Set entries = hashmap.entrySet();
   Iterator entriesIterator = entries.iterator();

   int i = 0;
   while(entriesIterator.hasNext()){

    Map.Entry mapping = (Map.Entry) entriesIterator.next();

    arr[i][0] = mapping.getKey().toString();
    arr[i][1] = mapping.getValue().toString();

    i++;
}

You may try this too.

public static String[][] getArrayFromHash(Hashtable<String,String> data){
        String[][] str = null;
        {
            Object[] keys = data.keySet().toArray();
            Object[] values = data.values().toArray();
            str = new String[keys.length][values.length];
            for(int i=0;i<keys.length;i++) {
                str[0][i] = (String)keys[i];
                str[1][i] = (String)values[i];
            }
        }
        return str;
    }

Here I am using String as return type. You may change it to required return type by you.

I used almost the same as @kmccoy, but instead of a keySet() I did this

hashMap.values().toArray(new MyObject[0]);

Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("key1", "value1");
map.put("key2", "value2");

Object[][] twoDarray = new String[map.size()][2];

Object[] keys = map.keySet().toArray();
Object[] values = map.values().toArray();

for (int row = 0; row < twoDarray.length; row++) {
    twoDarray[row][0] = keys[row];
    twoDarray[row][1] = values[row];
}

for (int i = 0; i < twoDarray.length; i++) {

        System.out.println(twoDarray[i][i]);
    }
