    If the object is actually a Boolean instance, then just cast it:

    boolean di = (Boolean) someObject;
    

    The explicit cast will do the conversion to Boolean, and then there’s the auto-unboxing to the primitive value. Or you can do that explicitly:

    boolean di = ((Boolean) someObject).booleanValue();
    

    If someObject doesn’t refer to a Boolean value though, what do you want the code to do?
