How to get value from as array annotated filed?

Question

I annotate any field like this:

@MyAnnotation("annotation")
public String[] values;

and I make so:

for(Field field : AnnotatedClass.getClass.getFields())
   if (field.isAnnotationPresent(MyAnnotation.class)){
       // but I don't know how to get values String[] array
       // I try to cast but inconvertible types
   }

Thanks for any ideas and help!!

You can use field.getAnnotation() for this:

for (Field f : AnnotatedClass.getClass.getFields())
    if (field.isAnnotationPresent(MyAnnotation.class)) {
        MyAnnotation anno = field.getAnnotation(MyAnnotation.class);
        String values = anno.value();
    }
 }
