ArrayList

[gokuball]

Is there a way to use an ArrayList which hold objects but not specific objects. Something like anonymous objects. For instance you dont know which objects its gonna be you just want that arraylist to hold objects

Yes, you can create an array list of type Object

[gokuball]

ArrayList<Object> objects = new ArrayList<Object>();

This sounds like a bad idea. What purpose would you have for a List that contains Chair, Spoon, Dog etc? On the other hand if the goal was to have a List of randomly generated Fiat, Ford, Audi, BMW etc objects then perhaps those classes should all extend a super class and you make the type of your List that super class:

ArrayList<CarMake> cars = new ArrayList<CarMake>();
