Question

I am trying to call this method to concat two arrays using Google Collections

public static <T> T[] concat(T[] first,
                             T[] second,
                             Class<T> type)

It’s returning empty results. I am using

ObjectArrays.concat(array1, array2, Blah.class)

which is the only thing that compiles.

array1 and array2 are of type Blah[].

What’s the right syntax?

Bonus question: do other collections libraries have documentation with examples?

Edit: Problem was my bone-headed code.

public void register(ButtonPair[] pairs) {
    pairs = ObjectArrays.concat(this.pairs, pairs, ButtonPair.class);
}

the right side of the thing is okay, but the left side is not assigning to this.pairs due to the ambiguity. Sorry! And hats off to Google Collections!

Answer 1

The following worked for me:

String[] arr1 = { "abc", "def" };
String[] arr2 = { "ghi", "jkl" };
String[] result = ObjectArrays.concat(arr1, arr2, String.class);

How are you getting the result from concat()?
