Hello,

I want to ask how can i read an array from other class and method.

i have this classes.

listPlayer.java

import java.io.*;

public class  ListPlayers{
	public static void dirlist(String fname){
		File dir = new File(fname);
		String[] chld = dir.list();
               
                
		if(chld == null){
			System.out.println("Specified directory does not exist or is not a directory.");
			System.exit(0);
		}else{
                    System.out.println("The Tournament Player List :");
			for(int i = 0; i < chld.length; i++){
				String fileName = chld[i];
				System.out.println(i+" "+fileName);
			}
		}
            
                System.out.println("End of Player List\n");
	}
}

test.java

     public static void main(){
             for (int iii = 0; iii < 10; iii++) {
                     System.out.println(chld[iii]);
                }

any idea????????????

Like any other object.
When You create an array, You actually create reference variable that points to instance of Array class, which is object.

So, question is, how can You access variable from classes and methods?
It depends on how You declared that variable(modifiers), and its location.

any example ????

friend, I recommend you read about:
- Local variable.
- Variables of class.
- Methods to return.
- Methods of no return.

any example ????

public class MyClass {
   public static String[] myArray;
}

public class TestMyClass {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      MyClass.myArray = new String[5];
}
}
