How to add new elements to an array?

Question

I have the following code:

String[] where;
where.append(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + \"=1\");
where.append(ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIB         


        

Answer 1

As tangens said, the size of an array is fixed. But you have to instantiate it first, else it will be only a null reference.

String[] where = new String[10];

This array can contain only 10 elements. So you can append a value only 10 times. In your code you're accessing a null reference. That's why it doesnt work. In order to have a dynamically growing collection, use the ArrayList.
