What you see there is the content of the array. You must overwrite the toString() method in the history class to see some useful information. The code you are asking for is

history[] a = new history[histories.size()];
a = histories.toArray(a);

I understand you are a beginner at java. Please read the javadocs or do some research before posting any further questions on stackoverflow. Also, read the java naming conventions. It 's History not history. Always use camel-case.
