[java] Problems with Array class ...
Author
Hello.
How can I create an object of Array class. This is an error:
Array arr = new Array(); //Array has private access in java.lang.reflect.Array
The Array class provides helper functions to work with arrays. This class is not meant to be instantiated.
To create a new array of a type, say char, write this:
char[] myArray = new char[4711];
Then you can use it in another function like this:
... func(Object[] array) throws IllegalArgumentException
{
char c = java.lang.reflect.Array.getChar(array, 3);
...
}

char[] myArray = new char[4711];

{
char c = java.lang.reflect.Array.getChar(array, 3);
...
}

I'm sorry, but you are wrong. You can create Array class object. Its suppost to be an universal array wich is working with all kinds of objects and primitive types.
There is a method for creatig Array class object, but I cant figure out how it works : Array.newInstance(Class type, int length)
The problem is that I get Class type, and my method must return Array type.
So I tried: return (Array)arr; //inconvertability !!!

The constructor of Array is private, so you cannot instanciate the class Array. Its also not supposed to be an universal array, since Object[] does this job. (You can put integral types like int or char into an Object[] by using java.lang.Integer, etc.)
The method newInstance can be used to create arrays of an unknown type.
So instead of writing
String[] myArray = new String[4711];
you could write
String[] myArray = Array.newInstance(String.class, 4711);
That also works if the function accepts the type as parameter:
public Object createArray(Class componentType)
{
return Array.newInstance(componentType, 4711);
}
Then use it like this:
String[] myStrings = (String[])createArray(String.class);

OK. Thanks a lot ;)
Maybe you know some java class that can solve set of linear equations ???
