If this is inside a method, it can't be static.

Edit: And, if it's not inside a method, then you haven't ended the previous line properly.

You have an array of Strings and when you call println(Day_str) it prints out the array object not the data inside it. You need a loop from 0 to day_str.length()-1 and then println(day_str[xx])

Correction to xcallmejudasx's post: it should be from 0 to Day_Str.length - 1, or for(int i=0; i<Day_Str.length; i++). using Day_Str.length() would just throw exceptions because the length() method does not exist. You use a method to get the size of an ArrayList, and it is size() not length().
