Argument Type Observable<User[]> is not assignable to parameter of type User[]

I'm trying to adapt the material examples like the following:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MatTableDataSource } from '@angular/material';
import { User } from '../models/user.model';
import { XService } from './x.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'x-component',
  styleUrls: ['x.component.css'],
  templateUrl: 'x.component.html',
})

export class XComponent {

  constructor(private xService: XService) {
  }

  displayedColumns = ['c1', 'c2', 'c3', 'c4'];
  dataSource = new MatTableDataSource<User>(this.xService.getUsers());

  applyFilter(filterValue: string) {
    filterValue = filterValue.trim(); // Remove whitespace
    filterValue = filterValue.toLowerCase(); // MatTableDataSource defaults to lowercase matches
    this.dataSource.filter = filterValue;
  }

}

The getUsers() looks like this:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient, HttpHeaders } from '@angular/common/http';

import { User } from '../models/user.model';

@Injectable()
export class XService {

  constructor(private http:HttpClient) {}

  private userUrl = 'http://localhost:8080/X';

  public getUsers() {
    return this.http.get<User[]>(this.userUrl);
  }

}

The user model looks like this:

export class User {

  c1 : string;
  c2 : string;
  c3 : string;
  c4 : string;
}

The above REST API localhost:8080/X will result in something like this:

[ {
  "c1" : 1,
  "c2" : "I",
  "c3" : 244.0,
  "c4" : 0.0,
}, {
 ...
}
]

but unfortunately if I try to build it via:

ng build

I get the following:

Your global Angular CLI version (1.7.1) is greater than your local
version (1.6.3). The local Angular CLI version is used.

To disable this warning use "ng set --global warnings.versionMismatch=false".

ERROR in src/app/x/x.component.ts(21,45): error TS2345: 
Argument of type 'Observable<User[]>' is not assignable 
to parameter of type 'User[]'.
Property 'includes' is missing in type 'Observable<User[]>'.

Based on the examples I would say it should be working but obviously it does not. The question is: Can someone give a hint/tip where to search or what the problem might be?

Update:

After changing the getUsers() into this (By suggestion of axl-code)

public getUsers() {
    return this.http.get<User[]>(this.userUrl).subscribe((data: any) => {
       return data;
    });
 }

I got the following error message during ng build:

ERROR in src/app/x/x.component.ts(21,45): error TS2345: 
Argument of type 'Subscription' is not assignable to 
parameter of type 'User[]'.
Property 'includes' is missing in type 'Subscription'.

Based on your provided code, try it this way

export class XComponent {
 dataSource = new MatTableDataSource<User[]>(); // note that you are just instantiating a 
//MatTableDataSource here. There's no data yet. Add it in the constructor
// Note that in your original code, you are doing this <User> instead of <User[]>
  constructor(private xService: XService) {
   this.xService.getUsers().subscribe ( users => {
             this.dataSource.data = users;
       })
  }

  displayedColumns = ['c1', 'c2', 'c3', 'c4'];

  applyFilter(filterValue: string) {
    filterValue = filterValue.trim(); // Remove whitespace
    filterValue = filterValue.toLowerCase(); // MatTableDataSource defaults to lowercase matches
    this.dataSource.filter = filterValue;
  }
}

You don't need to change anything in your getUsers(). Returning it as Observable<Users[]> should work because you are subscribing to it in your XComponent, thus you can get just the "Users[]".

This code is returning an Observable:

public getUsers() {
  return this.http.get<User[]>(this.userUrl);
}

and here:

dataSource = new MatTableDataSource<User>(this.xService.getUsers());

you are injecting it. If you want to return the content of the observable try:

 public getUsers() {
    return this.http.get<User[]>(this.userUrl).subscribe((data: any) => {
       return data;
    });
 }
