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

There is no method append() on arrays. Instead as already suggested a List object can service the need for dynamically inserting elements eg.

List where = new ArrayList();
where.add(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + "=1");
where.add(ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + "=1");

Or if you are really keen to use an array:

String[] where = new String[]{
    ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + "=1",
    ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + "=1"
};

but then this is a fixed size and no elements can be added.
