Question

I’m trying to store an object person in an ArrayList.

I have an ArrayList<String> customer = new ArrayList<String>();

The object ‘person’ has two variables: name (String) and pNr (long).
I have tried to simply add it: customer.add(person) but that doesn’t seem to work.

To clarify: I don’t want to store the variables individually. I want to store the entire object person in the ArrayList.

I simply can’t figure out how to engage this problem or even if it can be done.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

Change your List such that it accepts a Person object instead of a String.

List<Person> customer = new ArrayList<Person>();
Person person = ......;
customer.add(person);
