Android Question [SOLVED] Cannot cast array of CSBuilder to array of CharSequence

[Toky Olivier]

I use Corwin42 Preferences library and I tried this code.

        Dim lstSigneZodiaque As ListPreference
    Dim dummy As CSBuilder
    dummy.Initialize
    Dim cs() As CSBuilder = Array As CSBuilder(dummy,dummy,dummy)
    Dim ty As Typeface
    ty = Typeface.LoadFromAssets("velezodiac.ttf")
    cs(0).Initialize.Typeface(ty).Append("P Y S Q T").PopAll
    cs(1).Initialize.Typeface(ty).Append("p y s q t").PopAll
    cs(2).Initialize.Typeface(ty).Append("B K E C F").PopAll
    lstSigneZodiaque = cat1.AddListPreference("","IconeSigneZodiaque", "Kisary mifanaraka amin'ny andro","Misafidiana anaty lisitra", "0", Array As String("0", "1", "2"), cs)

I get error bellow at runtime:
preferences_prefview_ready (java line: 456)

It is said that "anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.CSBuilder[] cannot be cast to java.lang.CharSequence[]". How can I solve this problem please?

Thank you in advance.

If I use this code:

Dim lstSigneZodiaque As ListPreference
    Dim dummy As CSBuilder
    dummy.Initialize
    Dim cs() As CSBuilder = Array As CSBuilder(dummy,dummy,dummy)
    Dim ty As Typeface
    ty = Typeface.LoadFromAssets("velezodiac.ttf")
    cs(0).Initialize.Typeface(ty).Append("P Y S Q T").PopAll
    cs(1).Initialize.Typeface(ty).Append("p y s q t").PopAll
    cs(2).Initialize.Typeface(ty).Append("B K E C F").PopAll
    Dim cs2() As String = Array As String(cs(0).ToString, cs(1).ToString, cs(2).ToString)
    lstSigneZodiaque = cat1.AddListPreference("","IconeSigneZodiaque", "Kisary mifanaraka amin'ny andro","Misafidiana anaty lisitra", "0", Array As String(0, 1, 2), cs2)

It's OK but Typeface is not changed. It's normal because I passed an array of string.

What I don't understand, Erel said in this tutorial that "CSBuilder is similar to StringBuilder. Instead of building strings, it builds CharSequences that include style information." So why I got error with that code...

The prototype of the AddListPreference function is:

AddListPreference(EventName As String, Key As String, Title As CharSequence, Summary As CharSequence, Default As String, Values() As CharSequence, Texts() As CharSequence) As ListPreference

You can create an array of CharSequences with this code:

Dim charSequences As JavaObject
charSequences.InitializeArray("java.lang.CharSequence", Array(cs(0), cs(1), cs(2)))

You can create an array of CharSequences with this code:
Code:
Dim charSequences AsJavaObject
charSequences.InitializeArray("java.lang.CharSequence", Array(cs(0), cs(1), cs(2)))

That works. Thank you @Erel. I need to learn more JavaObject object.
