java array of arraylist code example

Example 1: how to make an array of arraylists in java

ArrayList<Integer> [] myList = (ArrayList<Integer>[]) new ArrayList[4];

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: java arraylist

List<String> expenseTypeList = new ArrayList<>();
        expenseTypeList.add("GENERAL");
        expenseTypeList.add("PURCHASE");
        expenseTypeList.add("PROJECT");

Example 4: 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);
}
