How to Creating an Arraylist of Objects.

Create an array to store the objects:

ArrayList<MyObject> list = new ArrayList<MyObject>();

In a single step:

list.add(new MyObject (1, 2, 3)); //Create a new object and adding it to list. 

or

MyObject myObject = new MyObject (1, 2, 3); //Create a new object.
list.add(myObject); // Adding it to the list.

If you want to allow a user to add a bunch of new MyObjects to the list, you can do it with a for loop: Let's say I'm creating an ArrayList of Rectangle objects, and each Rectangle has two parameters- length and width.

//here I will create my ArrayList:
ArrayList <Rectangle> rectangles= new ArrayList <>(3);
int length;
int width;
for(int index =0; index <3;index++)
{JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Rectangle " + (index + 1)); length = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter length"); width = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter width"); //Now I will create my Rectangle and add it to my rectangles ArrayList: rectangles.add(new Rectangle(length,width));
//This passes the length and width values to the rectangle constructor, which will create a new Rectangle and add it to the ArrayList.

}

We can create ArrayList of object , for this we declare ArrayList of specific Class type

 ArrayList<User> arr = new ArrayList<User>();

arr is arraylist of objects of class User .Here ArrayList arr can store object of User Class .

 arr.add(new User("Raja", 20));
