Question

ArrayList array = new ArrayList();

Iterator it1 = array.iterator();
while (it1.hasNext()){
   Myclass temp = it1.myGetterMethod();
   System.out.println (temp);
}

This is what I would like to implement, but Iterator only returns a generic Object. When I call Object.getClass(), the class is Myclass. Does this mean that the Iterator is not generic, and I need extend the Iterator class whenever I’m iterating objects that aren’t Java strings etc?

Answer 1

You did not create a generic ArrayList.

Try

ArrayList<MyClass> array = new ArrayList<MyClass>();

Iterator<MyClass> it1 = array.iterator(); 
while (it1.hasNext())
{ 
    MyClass temp = it1.myGetterMethod(); 
    System.out.println (temp); 
}
