Java's equivalent of static NSArray

Question

I am an iPhone programmer, trying to create an Android version of an iPhone app.

I have a NSArray in Objective C like below.

    NSArray *myarray =
@[
    @{@"name" : @"2014", @"items" :
          @[
              @{@"date" : @“01 January 2014", @"full_name" : @“Day 1”},
              @{@"date" : @“15 February 2014", @"full_name" : @"Day 2”},
           ]
    },
    @{@"name" : @"2015", @"items" :
          @[
              @{@"date" : @“05 January 2015", @"full_name" : @"Day 1"},
              @{@"date" : @“18 February 2015", @"full_name" : @"Day 2”},
              @{@"date" : @“26 March 2015", @"full_name" : @"Day 3”},
          ]
    }
];

What is Java equivalent of the array? How can initialize the above array in Java?

I need all your help finding the answer, thanks.

Thanks @Chicken, i know basic initialization of Array List of String. But here i need ArrayList of Dictionary. How can i achieve this? — Hindu Vrats, Feb 23 '14 at 08:23

i think you have two class like:

items class:

class item
{
   String date;
   String fullName;

   // getter and setter
}

and Data class:

class Data
{
 List<item> items;
 String name;

 // getter and setter
}

in your code you have one List of Data like:

List<Data> mArray = new ArrayList<Data>();

for adding as static see following link:

Thanks @Shayan, we can do this way, but it is a static array. It will not change at all. So, can we initialize this just like how i did using literals in Objective C? – Hindu Vrats Feb 23 '14 at 08:20
