Writing CSV file. myPackage.MyClass cannot be cast to java.lang.CharSequence



I need to write List<MyClass> myList into CSV file. In particular I need to write values . MyClass has the following implementation:







public class MyClass {

private Object[] values;

//...

@Override

public String toString()

{

String line = "";

for (int i=0; i<this.getSize(); i++) {

//if (this.values[i] != null) {

line = line + this.values[i] + " ";

//}

}

return line;

}

}







The code is the following:







private void saveSolutionToCSV(List<MyClass> solution) {

int columnSize = solution.get(0).getSize();

try {

FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("test.csv");

Iterator result = solution.iterator();

while(result.hasNext()) {

for(int i = 0; i < columnSize; i++) {

CharSequence element = (CharSequence)result.next();

writer.append(element);

if(i < columnSize - 1)

writer.append(',');

}

writer.append('\n');

}

}

catch(Exception e)

{

e.printStackTrace();

}

}







And the error message is the following:







java.lang.ClassCastException: myPackage.MyClass cannot be cast to java.lang.CharSequence







How to solve this problem? Thx.

  1. Try:

    String element = result.next().toString();
    writer.append(element);
    if(i < columnSize - 1)
    writer.append(',');

  2. You need to call toString() before casting to CharSequence.

  3. Try calling the toString() method explicitly like

    CharSequence element = (CharSequence)result.next().toString();

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
