Declaring a method which returns string array and call this method else where
I am fairly new to java and I need to declare a method which should basically return a string array and needs I need to call this function later to use these elements.
1. I need to know how to declare this method and store some values into array
2. I need to call this method in another method to get these values and use them

Thanks, I have lot of elements in the array. When i call the array, I see only the last element. I cannot see the rest. How do i see all if I want to?
you can access any element in the array using its index
eg. to get the 10th value use:
String[] array = myobject.mymethod();
String s10 = array[9];
(NB. Java array indexes are 0-based)
eg. to get the 10th value use:
String[] array = myobject.mymethod();
String s10 = array[9];
(NB. Java array indexes are 0-based)
Or you can use the for loop to access all the array elements
for(i=0;i<array.length();i
{
System.out.println(array[i
}
for(i=0;i<array.length();i
{
System.out.println(array[i
}
youy can also use the following to output the complete array:
System.out.println(Arrays.
System.out.println(Arrays.
String[] array = myobject.mymethod();
where myobject is an instance of the class you declared mymethod in
