how to create dynamic two dimensional array in java?

Since the number of columns is a constant, you can just have an List of int[].

    import java.util.*;
    //...

    List<int[]> rowList = new ArrayList<int[]>();

    rowList.add(new int[] { 1, 2, 3 });
    rowList.add(new int[] { 4, 5, 6 });
    rowList.add(new int[] { 7, 8 });

    for (int[] row : rowList) {
        System.out.println("Row = " + Arrays.toString(row));
    } // prints:
      // Row = [1, 2, 3]
      // Row = [4, 5, 6]
      // Row = [7, 8]

    System.out.println(rowList.get(1)[1]); // prints "5"

Since it's backed by a List, the number of rows can grow and shrink dynamically. Each row is backed by an int[], which is static, but you said that the number of columns is fixed, so this is not a problem.


One more example for 2 dimension String array:

public void arrayExam() {
    List<String[]> A = new ArrayList<String[]>();
    A.add(new String[] {"Jack","good"});
    A.add(new String[] {"Mary","better"});
    A.add(new String[] {"Kate","best"});
    for (String[] row : A) {
        Log.i(TAG,row[0] + "->" + row[1]);
    }
}

Output:

17467 08-02 19:24:40.518  8456  8456 I MyExam  : Jack->good
17468 08-02 19:24:40.518  8456  8456 I MyExam  : Mary->better
17469 08-02 19:24:40.518  8456  8456 I MyExam  : Kate->best

There are no multi-dimensional arrays in Java, there are, however, arrays of arrays.

Just make an array of however large you want, then for each element make another array however large you want that one to be.

int array[][];

array = new int[10][];

array[0] = new int[9];
array[1] = new int[8];
array[2] = new int[7];
array[3] = new int[6];
array[4] = new int[5];
array[5] = new int[4];
array[6] = new int[3];
array[7] = new int[2];
array[8] = new int[1];
array[9] = new int[0];

Alternatively:

List<Integer>[] array;

array = new List<Integer>[10];

// of you can do "new ArrayList<Integer>(the desired size);" for all of the following
array[0] = new ArrayList<Integer>();
array[1] = new ArrayList<Integer>();
array[2] = new ArrayList<Integer>();
array[3] = new ArrayList<Integer>();
array[4] = new ArrayList<Integer>();
array[5] = new ArrayList<Integer>();
array[6] = new ArrayList<Integer>();
array[7] = new ArrayList<Integer>();
array[8] = new ArrayList<Integer>();
array[9] = new ArrayList<Integer>();

How about making a custom class containing an array, and use the array of your custom class.
