java: no suitable method found for addAll(java.util.List<java.lang.String>)

Question

I want to pass an array list. I think the error is caused by the search list. i know The addAll method works with collections. Thats why its saying my searchlist can’t be converted to a collection, how can i solve thisThis is the error

my seacrh controller

@FXML
private ListView<?> ListView;

@FXML
private TextField searchbar;

@FXML
private Button searchbtn;

HelloController hc = new HelloController();


public  void  initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle resourceBundle){
    ListView.getItems().addAll();
}

public void searchbtn(ActionEvent actionEvent) throws IOException {
    ListView.getItems().clear();
    ListView.getItems().addAll(hc.searchList(searchbar.getText(),blxckie));//error is detected 
    here :java: no suitable method found for addAll(java.util.List<java.lang.String>)
