B4J Question How to cast a IterableList to List?

[MathiasM]

Hello

I want to pass a Map.Values to database.ExecNonQuery2() as second parameter. I thought that should work, because Map.Values resturns a IterableList, but apparently a IterableList and List are 2 different things.

This is my code:

db.ExecNonQuery2(query, columnMap.Values)

The error that is being logged is: anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.collections.Map$IterableMap cannot be cast to java.util.List

Is there a way to cast this internally?

I could write a Sub that converts it into a list, but how could I accept a IterableList as argument for my function? This doesn't work:

Private Sub CastIterableListToList(iterable As IterableList) As List
   Dim lst As List
   lst.Initialize
   
   For Each s As String In iterable
       lst.Add(s)
   Next
   
   Return lst
End Sub

Thanks!

You just need to pass the map

Private Sub CastMapToList(theMap As map) As List
   Dim lst As List
   lst.Initialize
   
   For Each s As object In theMap.Values
       lst.Add(s)
   Next
   
   Return lst
End Sub

I'm so retarded, this solution came to my mind a few minutes ago while doing something totally different.
Thanks for thinking with me!
