JCombobox accepting array of characters

Question

I want JCombobox to accept an array of characters. I can't seem to find a workaround for this. Basically, I want JCombobox to hold values '0' - '9', but as chars instead of int.

char[] levels = {'0', '1', '2', '3'};
skillLevelCombo = new JComboBox<Object>(levels); //Does not work

How do I get around this? Do I make a Character array? If so, how do I get the char values later on?

Answer 1

This works just fine:

  Character[] levels = {'0', '1', '2', '3'};
  skillLevelCombo = new JComboBox<Character>(levels);

e.g.,

import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class ComboFun {
   private static JComboBox<Character> skillLevelCombo;

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Character[] levels = {'0', '1', '2', '3'};
      skillLevelCombo = new JComboBox<Character>(levels); 

      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, skillLevelCombo);
   }
}

Please note that Integers work well too:

  Integer[] levels = {0, 1, 2, 3};
  final JComboBox<Integer> skillLevelCombo = new JComboBox<Integer>(levels);
