Question

What would be the best way to copy/clone an object in java/android?

rlBodyDataObj rlbo = bdoTable.get(name);

Right now the code assigns an object from a hashTable, yet I need to get a clone of it, so that I’d be able to use it multiple times.

Answer 1

Make sure that your DataObj class implements Cloneable and add the following method

protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
        return super.clone();
}

Then you should be able to call (DataObj)rlBodyDataObj.clone(); to get a clean copy (note the cast).
