Solved can't convert from Object to Player

Hi everyone,
I'd like to get all the player saved in one arraylist, clear that list and put them into another.
I have created a method for this, however, it does not work:

Code:java

public static void startGame(ArrayList<Player> waiting, ArrayList<Player> ingame) {
 
Player[] pwait = (Player[])waiting.toArray();
waiting.clear();
 
for(Player z: pwait) {
 
ingame.add(z);
z.sendMessage("Test successful.");
 
}
 
startNewLevel();
 
 
}

I get this error, although there are only players in the arraylist:

Code:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: [Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to [Lorg.bukkit.entity.Player;
at commands.Execute.startGame(Execute.java:34) ~[?:?]

... 13 more

Why are you coverting a list to an array?

 

xCyanide You'd have to loop through all the items individually and add them to the new list.

 

Maurdekye xCyanide What is a better way to reach the same thing?

Sorry thought too complicated.. xD
it's just

Code:java

public static void startGame(ArrayList<Player> waiting, ArrayList<Player> ingame) {
 
 
 
 
 
for(Player z: waiting) {
 
ingame.add(z);
z.sendMessage("Test successful.");
 
}
 
waiting.clear();
 
startNewLevel();
 
 
}

how about ingame.addAll(waiting)?
