How to return multiple objects from a Java method?

Question

I want to return two objects from a Java method and was wondering what could be a good way of doing so?

The possible ways I can think of are: return a HashMap<

Answer 1

Can do some thing like a tuple in dynamic language (Python)

public class Tuple {
private Object[] multiReturns;

private Tuple(Object... multiReturns) {
    this.multiReturns = multiReturns;
}

public static Tuple _t(Object... multiReturns){
    return new Tuple(multiReturns);
}

public <T> T at(int index, Class<T> someClass) {
    return someClass.cast(multiReturns[index]);
}
}

and use like this

public Tuple returnMultiValues(){
   return Tuple._t(new ArrayList(),new HashMap())
}


Tuple t = returnMultiValues();
ArrayList list = t.at(0,ArrayList.class);
