Solved Config Interface: how to craete an array?

How to produce array fron config interface?

I can craete single or nested values with:

Code:java

FileConfiguration config = getConfig();
 
config.addDefault("singleValue", Boolean.valueOf(true)); // single
config.addDefault("nested.value", Boolean.valueOf(true)); // nested

Like:

Code:java

singleValue: true
nested:
  value: true

But how to get something like this:

Code:java

parent:
  - element1
  - element2

or:

Code:java

parent: []

PS YAML syntax tag would be handy

 

Code:

        for(String s : config.getConfigurationSection("parent").getKeys(false)) {
         
        }

or

Code:

Set<String> theList = config.getConfigurationSection("parent").getKeys(false);
Object[] yourArray = theList.toArray();

forgot to tahg.
Also isn't it.

Code:

private List<String> parentElements;
 
// Initialise in onEnable
parentElements = getConfig().getStringList("parent");

He is asking how he would make one, not get it.

To create one use:

Code:java

        /** Creates the List **/
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
        /** This is how you add something to the list **/
        list.add("X");
        /** Setting the list in the config **/
        getConfig().set("list", list);

To get a array list from the config do:

Code:java

        /** Creates a list **/
        List<String> list;
        /** Sets the list to the list in the config **/
        list = getConfig().getStringList("list");

If you wanted the List to be an integer, just change the List<String> to List<Integer>, then change getStringList("list") to getIntegerList("list").

 

Thanks, that's what I needed.

That representates level of discussion at this forums btw.
