Java Create New Array with Class Type and Length

Tags: Array

In this Java core tutorial we learn how to use the java.lang.reflect.Array class to create a new array with specified class type and length in Java programming language.

How to use Array.newInstance() method

In Java we can use the Array.newInstance(Class<?> componentType, int length) method to create a new instance of array with given class type and array length as the following example Java code.

ArrayNewInstanceExample1.java

import java.lang.reflect.Array;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class ArrayNewInstanceExample1 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        int arrayLength = 10;

        // Create a new array of String objects
        String[] arrayOfString = (String[])Array.newInstance(String.class, arrayLength);
        // Create a new array of Integer objects
        Integer[] arrayOfInteger = (Integer[])Array.newInstance(Integer.class, arrayLength);

        // Set values to the arrays
        for(int i = 0; i < arrayLength; i++) {
            Array.set(arrayOfString, i, "Value " + (i + 1));
            Array.set(arrayOfInteger, i, (i + 1));
        }

        System.out.println("Array of Strings:");
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arrayOfString));
        System.out.println("Array of Integers:");
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arrayOfInteger));
    }
}
The output as below.
Array of Strings:
[Value 1, Value 2, Value 3, Value 4, Value 5, Value 6, Value 7, Value 8, Value 9, Value 10]
Array of Integers:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
