Gson Array of Strings to JsonArray

Question

I'm using Gson and am trying to add a bunch of string values into a JsonArray like this:

JsonArray jArray = new JsonArray(); jArray.add("value1"); 

The problem is that the add method only takes a JsonElement.

I've tried to cast a String into a JsonElement but that didn't work.

How do I do it using Gson?

Answer 1

You can create a primitive that will contain the String value and add it to the array:

JsonArray jArray = new JsonArray(); JsonPrimitive element = new JsonPrimitive("value1"); jArray.add(element); 

Answer 2

Seems like you should make a new JsonPrimitive("value1") and add that. See The javadoc
