something to get you started....but you have to do the rest your self

public class myRec
{
String firstname, lastName,streetAddress,postCode;
int phoneNum;
//or String phoneNum; depending on the format

String getfirstName(){
return firstName;
}

void setfirstName(String fn){
firstName=fn;
}
// and other get and set methods
}

myRec newrec= new myRec();
newrec.setfirstName("atjendrasa")

ArrayList myArrayofRec= new ArrayList();
myArrayofRec.add(newrec);

etc....

That should follow conventions thus:

public class Entry {
      private String firstName;
      private String lastName;

      Entry(String firstName, String lastName) {
            // other fields needed too
            this.firstName = firstName;
            this.lastName = lastName;
      }

      public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
       this.firstName = firstName;
      }

      public String getFirstName() {
       return firstName;
      }

      public void setLastName(String lastName) {
       this.lastName = lastName;
      }

      public String getLastName() {
       return lastName;
      }

}

Whoops

>>Entry(String firstName, String lastName) {

should be

public Entry(String firstName, String lastName) {
