Android Question Build ArrayList in B4A for using in Lib

[Ferdari]

Hi everyone, i want to write this Java ArrayList on B4A:

    protected Pack(Parcel in) {
        identifier = in.readString();
        name = in.readString();
        publisher = in.readString();
        trayImageFile = in.readString();
        publisherEmail = in.readString();
        publisherWebsite = in.readString();
        privacyPolicyWebsite = in.readString();
        licenseAgreementWebsite = in.readString();
        iosAppStoreLink = in.readString();
        stickers = in.createTypedArrayList(Sticker.CREATOR); //this is also and arraylist
        totalSize = in.readLong();
        androidPlayStoreLink = in.readString();
        isWhitelisted = in.readByte() != 0;
    }

What is the best way to write this on B4A?

content.Initialize("", ArrayList)

Im creating an array:

'Array As String("identifier","name","publisher,"trayImageFile","publisherEmail","publisherWebsite","privacyPolicyWebsite","licenseAgreementWebsite","iosAppStoreLink","stickers()","totalSize","androidPlayStoreLink","isWhitelisted")
Array As String("12","App","tray","","","","","","","",stickers,"","")

Array As String will create an array of strings (String[]). If you want an ArrayList:

Dim list1 As List = Array As String("a", "b")
'now pass list1

Dim list1 As List = Array As String("a", "b")
'now pass list1

Maybe a Map instead an array:

    Private Pack As Map
    Pack.Initialize
    Pack.Put("identifier", "<identifier1>")
    Pack.Put("name", "<name>1")

    Dim list1 As List = Array As String("stickers1", "stickers2", "stickers3")
    Pack.Put("stickers", list1)

    Pack.Put("totalSize", 1000)
    
    Log(Pack.Get("identifier"))   '<identifier1>
    Log(Pack.Get("name"))    '<name>1
    Log(Pack.Get("stickers"))   '[stickers1, stickers2, stickers3]
    Log(Pack.Get("totalSize"))   '1000

    Log(Pack.Get("totalSize"))   '1000

I tried, but the app can´t compile with MAP: $MyMap cant be converted to ArrayList, i need more research

Maybe this;

add new object to array?

hi when i create an array of objects i have to set the length of the array at the beginning but what if i would like to add a new object to this array? is it possible? in java it is: var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"]; fruits[4] = "Lemon";

@Erel says: "B4A List wraps the Java ArrayList. They are the same thing."
