Method Summary

Method Details

• newInstance

  public static Object newInstance​(Class<?> componentType, int length) throwsNegativeArraySizeException

  Creates a new array with the specified component type and length. Invoking this method is equivalent to creating an array as follows:

   int[] x = {length}; Array.newInstance(componentType, x);

  The number of dimensions of the new array must not exceed 255.

  Parameters:

  componentType - theClass object representing the component type of the new array

  length - the length of the new array

  Returns:

  the new array

  Throws:

  NullPointerException - if the specifiedcomponentType parameter is null

  IllegalArgumentException - if componentType isVoid.TYPE or if the number of dimensions of the requested array instance exceed 255.

  NegativeArraySizeException - if the specifiedlength is negative

• newInstance

  public static Object newInstance​(Class<?> componentType, int... dimensions) throwsIllegalArgumentException,NegativeArraySizeException

  Creates a new array with the specified component type and dimensions. IfcomponentType represents a non-array class or interface, the new array hasdimensions.length dimensions andcomponentType as its component type. IfcomponentType represents an array class, the number of dimensions of the new array is equal to the sum ofdimensions.length and the number of dimensions ofcomponentType. In this case, the component type of the new array is the component type ofcomponentType.

  The number of dimensions of the new array must not exceed 255.

  Parameters:

  componentType - theClass object representing the component type of the new array

  dimensions - an array ofint representing the dimensions of the new array
