convert elements of cell array/struct array to Java primitive data types

Hi,

I am trying to convert the returned objects when a matlab function is called from Java. If it is numeric array ob.asInstanceOf[MWNumericArray].toArray().asInstanceOf[Array[Array[Double]]] works fine. When it is a cell array or struct array, I can access each element using get() or getField(). They return an object. I want to convert these objects to appropriate Java primitive data types - int, char, numeric array etc. Any ideas about how to find the type of the object(which is a single element of cell array) and how to convert it. The whole idea is to represent cell array as array of elements(an element can be int, char, array etc) and struct array as array of arrays. Please post your suggestions/thoughts. Thank you!

If you want to find the type of the object in Java, you can use the following code snippet:

ArrayList<Object> list = new ArrayList<Object>(); // This would contain the list 

for (Object object : list) {
      System.out.println(object.getClass().getName());
  }
