Put String Arrays inside an Arraylist (or anyother list)

[Toirniuil]

Hi Im trying to place some string arrays inside an array list. How do I do that??

here is the code I have got so far

ArrayList Times= new ArrayList();
String tues="11:00";
String mon="10:00";
String[] days = {Mon,tues};

Time.add(?? how to I put days here ??);

You mean you want to add your string such that it says "10:00,11:00"? Or do you want to insert both objects separately? What exactly is/are the string(s) in this example that you want to add to the object?

uff...
Mon != mon
Time != Times

correct:

		ArrayList Times= new ArrayList();
		String tues="11:00";
		String mon="10:00";
		String[] days = {mon,tues};
		Times.add(days);

but,

		List<String[]> times= new ArrayList<String[]>();
		String tues="11:00";
		String mon="10:00";
		String[] days = {mon,tues};
		times.add(days);

is much better ;-)

[Zack]

		List<String[]> times= new ArrayList<String[]>();
		String tues="11:00";
		String mon="10:00";
		String[] days = {mon,tues};
		times.add(days);

That code makes a list of String[]s which I'm not sure is what the OP is after.

Im sorry everyone I made a mistake I placed my } before my

Times.add(days);

which is why it wouldnt work. Thanks anyway

Why is the List<String[]> times= new ArrayList<String[]>(); better??

yes I agree with you, a class would be better but that is what Toirniuil wanted :)

Look up interfaces, and how much they help with code maintenance.

Nitpick: Arrays and Generics don't mix well. I would suggest a List of Lists.

List<List<String>> times = new ArrayList<List<String>>();
List<String> days = new ArrayList<String>();
days.add("11:00");
days.add("10:00");
times.add(days);
