Avoiding overwriting objects in ArrayList

Question

Stackers. I\'ve been searching the site for my question, but didn\'t find what I was looking for. I\'m stuck with this code:

public class Users{
ArrayList<         


        

Answer 1

If I understood right you're adding new users this way:

ValidateUser newUser = new ValidateUser();
    newUser.setUser("administrator");
    newUser.setPass("asdf123");
    newUser.setBalance(0.8);
    newUser.setType("admin");
    personer.add(newUser);

    newUser.setUser("different admin");
    personer.add(newUser);

however this way the object points to the same reference, thus you must do the following to instantiate a new object:

 newUser = new ValidateUser();
 newUser.setUser("foo");
 personer.add(newUser);
