items not being set

[nyfer]

hey guys i have class Item

public class Item  extends ArrayList<String> {
    
   private int count;
   private String  name;


    Item() { 
        //name=""; count=0;
    }
    
    public int getcount()
    {
       return this.count; 
    }
    
    
    
     public void setcount(int x)
    {
        this.count=x;
    }
    
     Item(String name)
     {
         this.name=name;
     }
    
  
   
}

and class Transaction

import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.util.ArrayList;


public class Transaction extends ArrayList<Item> {
  
   public Item getUniqueItem()
    {
        ResultSet rs;
        Database d=new Database();
        Item unique=new Item();
       String query="Select distinct(item_id) from item_transaction";
        rs=d.sendQuery(query);
        try{
        while(rs.next())
        {
            unique.add(rs.getString(1));
        }
        }catch(Exception e){}
       
        return unique;
    }
   
   
 
   public int countItems(Item item)
   {
       ResultSet rs;
       Database d=new Database();
       String query="";
        int count=0;
        for(String i:item)
       {
          System.out.print(i);
            query="SELECT count(*) FROM `item_transaction` where item_id="+i;
              rs=d.sendQuery(query);
              try{
               while(rs.next())
              {
                  //System.out.print(rs.getString(1));
                  count=Integer.parseInt(rs.getString(1));
                  //System.out.print(count+"\t");
              }
               
              }catch(Exception e){}
       }
          return count;
   }
   
    
   
   
}

In my main class i have created an object of Transaction and trying to add items to it as given below

 Transaction Ci=new Transaction();

 for(String name:I)    //here I is of type item 
      {
         //System.out.print(name+"\t");
         
           Ci.add(new Item(name));
      }

But wen i go to print the contents of Ci am getting nothing. Please help me in solving this issue
Thanks

Please make and post a small complete program that compiles, executes and shows the problem. Also post the output from the code so we know what to expect.
Short bits of code don't show all the different ways the code can go wrong.

Why on earth are you extending ArrayList?
I would say your model is wrong just based on that.

Once you'e sorted that out then we can look at this again if there's still a problem.
But when you do you need to show us how all these bits fit togther, including how you are printing out Ci, and what you expected to see vs what you do see.
