arraylist in arraylist java code example

Example 1: Lists inside lists in java

public class GuiTest {

	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		List<List<Integer>> MainList = new ArrayList<List<Integer>>();
		Random NewRandomNumber = new Random();
		
		for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
			List<Integer> SecondList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
			MainList.add(SecondList);
			for (int i2 = 0; i2 < 10; i2++) {
				SecondList.add(NewRandomNumber.nextInt(6));
			}
		}

Example 2: java arraylist

import java.util.List; //list abstract class
import java.util.ArrayList; //arraylist class

//Object Lists
List l = new ArrayList();
ArrayList a = new ArrayList();

//Specialized List
List<String> l = new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayList<Integer> a = new ArrayList<Integer>();
//only reference data types allowed in brackets <>

//Initial Capacity
List<Double> l = new ArrayList<Double>(5);
//list will start with a capacity of 5
//saves allocation times

Example 3: arraylist of arraylist

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> outer = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>();
    ArrayList<Integer> inner = new ArrayList<Integer>();        

    inner.add(100);     
    inner.add(200);
    outer.add(inner); // add first list
    inner = new ArrayList<Integer>(inner); // create a new inner list that has the same content as  
                                           // the original inner list
    outer.add(inner); // add second list

    outer.get(0).add(300); // changes only the first inner list

    System.out.println(outer);
}
