How to put elements into String array?

Question

How can i put elements into the following string array?

String[] myString = new String[] {};

Note: Number of element is not fixed.

Arrays must be of fixed size. If size is known, you can insert elements this way myString[0] = "somestring" then myString[1] = "someanotherstring" and so on. Use ArrayList if size is not known. — Faraz

Do we need to just write like, String[] myString = new String[] {"element1", "element2".......}; ?? — Ilham Safeek

ArrayList.toArray( T[] a )

this would give your array you're trying get.

You cannot.

Since myString is an empty array and since an array's length is fixed, an empty array cannot be changed.

But what you can do is to store a new, different array in the myString variable.
