Android game rpg inventory system

Question

I am using an ArrayList as my \"inventory\". I am having trouble figuring out a way to add multiples of the same item without taking up a spot in the \"inventory\". For exam

Answer 1

You're probably better off creating a class called InventorySlot, with a quantity and contents field. This also give you the flexibility of adding other properties, such as what the inventory slot can contain, should you decide to create a 'potions' only sack or something like that.

Alternatively, a StackCount and a boolean IsStackable, or perhaps MaxStack property is used in quite a few MMO's, it's a perfectly valid technique too.
