Storing Result set into an array

Question

i know this should be simpel and im probably staring straight at the problem but once again im stuck and need the help of the code gurus.

im trying too take one row

Answer 1

Did you mean something like:

int i = 0;
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select name from users");
while (rs.next()) {
    String name = rs.getString("name");
    names[i++] = name;
}

Answer 2

You should use an ArrayList which provides all the logic to automatically extend the array.

List rowValues = new ArrayList();
while (namesList.next()) {
    rowValues.add(namesList.getString(1));
}   
// You can then put this back into an array if necessary
contactListNames = (String[]) rowValues.toArray(new String[rowValues.size()]);
