Changing size of Array

[ravian]

I have a String array of size 5. Is it possible to increase its size on the fly and retaining the data of the array.

String[] array = new String[5];
…
array = new String[10];

Thanks.

Here's an idea (pseudocode):

    String[] array = new String[5];
    ...
    array = expand(array, 10);

private String[] expand(String[] array, int size) {
    String[] temp = new String[size];
    System.arraycopy(array, 0, temp, 0, array.length);
    for(int j = array.length; j < size; j++)
        temp[j] = "";
    return temp;
}

The above code fails if you pass a null....
here is a fix.
Moderator edit: removed unformatted, irrelevant code that isn't a fix for anything.

Do you even understand the meaning of pseudocode? And the question was asked 4½ years ago.
