I have a function that returns an Object. The Object can contain an array of primatives or an array of objects. In C# I can create an empty array of objects or primatives using code like:
Array values = Array.CreateInstance(/*Type*/type, /*int*/length);
Is there an equivalent in Java?
How to create an array of objects of a specific class type
Test[] tests = new Test[length] ;
And if you want to have a mix up of Primitives and Objects, though it is not suggestable, If you want to mix primitives with Objects
Object[] objs = new Object[length];
That allows you to both primitives(in form of wrappers) and normal Objects together.
If you have a class called Test of your own, you can create an array of Test's like
Note that until you initialise the elements in that array, they have null as their value.
Assuming you only know the element type at execution time, I think you're looking for Array.newInstance.
Object intArray = Array.newInstance(int.class, 10);
Object stringArray = Array.newInstance(String.class, 10);
(That will create an int[] and a String[] respectively.)
Object[] array = new Object[length];
Or with your own type:
MyType[] array = new MyType[length];
