Equivalent of std::vector in Java?

Question

What would be the closest thing to a std::vector in Java? By this I mean, a class which can take in T into its constructor and then pushBack, popBack() and that is stored in

Answer 1

ArrayList
Everything's stored in array ("continuous memory") internally, although operation names are a bit different.

A bit more about list implementations in Java
And about generics

edit
Helper Method also mentioned useful class in his answer (although not exactly equivalent to C++ Vector).

Answer 2

What you need is exactly an java.util.ArrayList<T> You can check the documentation in http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/ArrayList.html

Basically is a List implemented with an Array where the references live in a continuous chunk of memory.

I recommend to use in combination with a interface variable like this: List<String> stringList = new ArrayList<String>(); so if you decide, you can change the implementation to java.util.LinkedList<T> or another one.

Answer 3

Is ArrayList what you're looking for?
ArrayList l = new ArrayList<String>();
So you can have a list of anything (defined between the <>).
