Sometimes conversion of primitive types to boxed types is necessary.

To convert the array, it’s possible to use streams (in Java 8 and above):

int[] primitiveArray = {1, 2, 3, 4};
Integer[] boxedArray = 
    Arrays.stream(primitiveArray).boxed().toArray(Integer[]::new);

With lower versions it can be by iterating the primitive array and explicitly copying it to the boxed array:

int[] primitiveArray = {1, 2, 3, 4};
Integer[] boxedArray = new Integer[primitiveArray.length];
for (int i = 0; i < primitiveArray.length; ++i) {
    boxedArray[i] = primitiveArray[i]; // Each element is autoboxed here
}

Similarly, a boxed array can be converted to an array of its primitive counterpart:

Integer[] boxedArray = {1, 2, 3, 4};
int[] primitiveArray = 
    Arrays.stream(boxedArray).mapToInt(Integer::intValue).toArray();

Integer[] boxedArray = {1, 2, 3, 4};
int[] primitiveArray = new int[boxedArray.length];
for (int i = 0; i < boxedArray.length; ++i) {
    primitiveArray[i] = boxedArray[i]; // Each element is outboxed here
}
