Keyset to Player[]

Hey, I am looking for the most efficient way to convert a Keyset in an hashmap which contains players names into Player[]

 

Code:

Player[] players = new Player[hashmap.keySet().size()];
for(int i = 0; i < hashmap.keySet().size(); i++)
{
    players[i] = Bukkit.getServer.getPlayer(hashmap.keySet().get(i));
}

 

Ok, pretty smiler than what I did. Thanks anyway.

 

Player[] players = hashmap.keySet().toArray(new Player[0]);

I won

 

You lost to an ArrayStoreException because String can't be cast to Player.

 

This is what I did, anything wrong?

Code:Java

public Player[] getWinningPlayers() throws NullPointerException {
    if(winningPlayers == null) throw new NullPointerException();
 
    int numPlayers = winningPlayers.keySet().size();
    Player[] output = new Player[numPlayers];
 
    for(int i=0; i<numPlayers; i++) {
        output = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer((String)winningPlayers.keySet().toArray());
    }
 
    return output;
}

 

Code:Java

for(int i=0; i<numPlayers; i++) {
output[i] = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer((String)winningPlayers.keySet().toArray()[i]);
}[/i][/i]

 

Woops, didn't see that. Thanks!

 

a little suggestion: I wouldn't throw a nullpointerexception. I would just return an empty array.

 

I did it because its for an API

 

I asumed it was an Set<Player> instead of Set<String>
