Array null values

[blug]

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with this code. I've looked over it a few times and I just can't see it being illogical? It makes sense to me and should be working.

public void add(Object object){
		sizeArray++;
		Object[] temp = new Object[sizeArray];
		this.array = temp;
		this.array = new Object[sizeArray + 1];
		for(int i = 0; i < temp.length; i++){
			array[i] = temp[i];
		}
		array[sizeArray] = object;
	}

I'm trying to do a remake of the "ArrayList" as what my textbook is asking me to do. However, this code here is returning nothing but null values besides the last the last element of the array which returns correctly (which makes sense to me).

Am I doing something wrong with the array/temp coversion?

Thanks!!

i think this is the problem:

- a new array 'temp' is initialized (it has no values - so 'null')
- class field 'array' = temp //essentially resetting the array with the new size
- 'array' = new Object[sizeArray+1] // i don't understand
- you iterate through the new NULL array and replace the items with temp array which is also NULL because neither new nor reset array have had values assigned to them
- the latest item 'object' is added

the method is clearly flawed in that it does not copy the values of the original array held in the class field 'array' to the new temp array

you might want to change this around:

this.array = temp; 
this.array = new Object[sizeArray + 1];

to something like this:

temp = array;
array = new Object[sizeArray + 1];

i think that should do it
