Java two varargs in one method

Question

Is there any way in java, to create a method, which is expecting two different varargs? I know, with the same object kind it isn\'t possible because the compiler does\'nt kn

Answer 1

This is an old thread, but I thought this would be helpful regardless.

The solution I found isn't very neat but it works. I created a separate class to handle the heavy lifting. It only has the two variables I needed and their getters. The constructor handles the set methods on its own.

I needed to pass direction objects and a respective Data object. This also solves the possible problem of uneven data pairs, but that is probably only for my usage needs.

public class DataDirectionPair{

    Data dat;
    Directions dir;

    public DataDirectionPair(Data dat, Directions dir) {
        super();
        this.dat = dat;
        this.dir = dir;
    }

    /**
     * @return the node
     */
    public Node getNode() {
        return node;
    }

    /**
     * @return the direction
     */
    public Directions getDir() {
        return dir;
    }
}

I would then just pass this class as the vararg for the method

public void method(DataDirectionPair... ndPair){
    for(DataDirectionPair temp : ndPair){
        this.node = temp.getNode();
        this.direction = temp.getDir();
        //or use it however you want
    }
}
