java - Type mismatch: cannot convert from Class to Class[] -

java - Type mismatch: cannot convert from Class<capture#1-of ?> to Class<?>[] -

what mean, next error message:

type mismatch: cannot convert class<capture#1-of ?> class<?>[]

the code following:

class<?>[] encoderclass; class<?>[] encoderclasses = new class<?>[] { encoder1.class, encoder2.class, encoder3.class }; for(int i=0; i<encoderclasses.length; ++i) { encoderclass = encoderclasses[i]; // <------ error here }

update

oh, silly mistake, thanks....

you're attempting assign single class element class array (different types per error message). instead assign each individual element in for loop

encoderclass[i] = encoderclasses[i];

ensuring array initialized avoid npe in assignment

class<?>[] encoderclass = new class<?>[3];

for simplicity replace entire loop with

encoderclass = arrays.copyof(encoderclasses, encoderclasses.length);
