java primitive array to JSONArray

Issue

I'm trying convert java primitive array to JSONArray, but I have strange behaviour.My code below.

long [] array = new long[]{1, 2, 3};
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(Arrays.asList(array));
jsonArray.toString();

output is ["[J@532372dc"]

Why Do I get this output? I want to get output like this [1, 2, 3]

Solution

problem:

Arrays.asList(array)

You cant transform an array of primitive types to Collections that it needs to be an array of Objects type. Since asList expects a T... note that it needs to be an object.

why is it working?

That is because upon passing it in the parameter it will autoBox it since array are type object.

solution:

You need to change it to its wrapper class, and use it as an array.

sample:

Long[] array = new Long[]{1L, 2L, 3L};
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(Arrays.asList(array));
jsonArray.toString();

result:

[1, 2, 3]
