Convert byte [] to ArrayList<Object>

Question

I have a byte [] that i obtained using Object ArrayList

Can anyone tell me how to convert my byte [] to Object ArrayList?

• coveting arraylist like this

    ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); ObjectOutputStream oos = null; oos = new ObjectOutputStream(bos); oos.writeObject(mArrayList);//mArrayList is the array to convert byte[] buff = bos.toByteArray(); 

Thank you!

Answer 1

Now you've given us the information about how you did the conversion one way... you need:

ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes));
try {
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    ArrayList<Object> list = (ArrayList<Object>) ois.readObject();
    ...
} finally {
    ois.close();
}

Answer 2

I'm going to go with the obvious answer here...

for(byte b : bytearray) {
  arraylist.add(new Byte(b));
}
