Java: how to convert HashMap<String, Object> to array

I need to convert a HashMap<String, Object> to an array; could anyone show me how it's done?

Solution 
  • hashMap.keySet().toArray(); // returns an array of keys
hashMap.values().toArray(); // returns an array of values

    Edit

    It should be noted that the ordering of both arrays may not be the same, See oxbow_lakes answer for a better approach for iteration when the pair key/values are needed.
