Non Allocating String Buffer

whoops. didn't mean to delete that.

Can you explain your question little more clear.

You want to create some arrays and then you want to add those arrays into a linked list and then you want to add those link list to string buffer, is it?

Some ideas on the design. Do it in simple steps first. Then make it more complicated.
Create an array to hold strings as they are appended. Don't worry about overflow yet. That's part 2.
Increment length as strings are appended.
Write a toString method that creates a StringBuffer and fills it from what's been stored in the array. Create and return a String from the StringBuffer.
Get that to work, write a small main() method to test it,
then move on the making a linked list of these arrays.

public int length();

I was refering to what the above would return? Yes it would be a variable with the total number of chars in all the string stored. Has nothing to do with overflow in my design.

If you want to handle the overflow in dynamic incrementing of number of element, you have to choose another collection framework, may be ArrayList would be the solution.
