Question

I am stuck with an issue . I am calling a method A() . Which sometimes return String and sometimes it returns Array of Strings (String[] strArr) . How can I handle that scenario programmatically ? I don’t have any control in the return type of the method A() .

I have to call that method and store the returned value in a variable. The type of the variable needs to be fixed depending upon the returned value (String / Array of Strings) from the method .

Thanks in advance .

try this

Object returnedValue = A();
if (returnedValue instanceof String)
{
    ...
}
else if (returnedValue instanceof String[])
{
    ...
}
