Global Arrays

Hey guys, I feel like I'm missing something that should be obvious here.

I have a code section that looks like this:

Code:

DropManifest = config.getString("DropManifest", "pork,water,pick,chest,sword,torch");//default drop list

        String[] DropManiArr = DropManifest.split(",",64); //converts CSV to array

        String[][] FullManiArr = new String[DropManiArr.length][3];

This works fine. However, since this code is called onEnable both arrays DropManiArr and FullManiArr are local to onEnable (it seems). I've tried declaring them before onEnable, but the problem is the size of the arrays aren't fixed.

Is there any way to be able to set them to be global from within onEnable, since it's not possible to change array sizes after creation?

Thanks in advance,
HSAR

 

You can declare the 2/3 members as static, but you probably need to initialize them elsewhere then. (in onEnable)

Code:

        public static String[] DropManiArr;
        public static String[][] FullManiArr;

Somewhere else:

Code:

DropManiArr = DropManifest.split(",",64); //converts CSV to array
FullManiArr = new String[DropManiArr.length][3];

 

As long as you write the fields outside of any method, but inside the class, they are global.

Code:

public class Example{
    public int[] multiplesOfNine = new int[]{9,18,27};

    public void toSomething(){
      ...
    }
}
