access array list item from draw

[trishtren]

Hey, iv been struggling trying to access data in an array list object, the array list contains an integer value id like to use to draw on screen so if anyone can tell me how to access it id be very grateful :

 ArrayList<Object> imageposx=new ArrayList<Object>();
 //instance of the arraylist im using


  Integer xpositionlist=new Integer(last_X);
  imageposx.add(xpositionlist);
 // add last place clicked to the array list

 //how i am trying to use it
 g.drawImage(imagefile,imageposx.get(0), 0, null);

The problem is the draw function wont accept imageposx.get() as it is an object type as opposed to a integer, so is there a way to access it or convert it to an integer type to use in the drawimage function?

Declare ArrayList<Integer> instead of ArrayList<Object> and autoboxing should take care of it.

And use meaningful variable names that aren't confusing. I can't see any justification for naming an Integer type variable xpositionlist, especially when your List type variable is named imageposx

it is because you converted it to an Object in the first place...

ArrayList<Object> imageposx=new ArrayList<Object>();

that should say ArrayList<Integer> imageposx = new ArrayList<>();

Please read the entire thread first before you reply; you could and should've seen that the answer was already supplied in the first reply.

When that happens to me (and it happens often) I edit my previous reply and confess that I'm a slow old sod ... ;-)
