pass an ArrayList as a parameter

[skarosi]

Hi all,
I have a small problem that i just cant understand!
I have created an ArrayList <String> and want to pass it to an other method. So i have this

   ArrayList<String> name = new ArrayList<String>();
.....
results(jComboBox1.getSelectedIndex(),ArrayList() name);

and then i have the result method,

public void results(int index,List table){}

I have tried all these and nothing is working!

public void results(int index,ArrayList table){}

public void results(int index,ArrayList<String> table){}

Any help pls? I am seriously thinking of having the list as a global variable! that would save me a lot of trouble!

Your first code snippet

results(jComboBox1.getSelectedIndex(),ArrayList() name);

should be like

results(jComboBox1.getSelectedIndex(), name);

And the second definition for the result method

public void results(int index,ArrayList<String> table){}

should be fine.

HTH
