ArrayList Please HELP!!

Boblysan

Hey everyone.. I have an application which adds objects ot type "task" to an array list. These task objects will have a task_id, type, state, etc. I am trying to determine how I can look at all items that have been added to he arraylist and retrieve the index for a specific task based on its taskState value. A task could be added to the list with a state of alerting, active, incacive, held, etc. Multiple tasks will be in the taskList at any given time. All I am trying to do is create one or multiple methods that will allow me to go look in to this taskList and retrieve the index of the task that matches the state I am looking for. If anyone could help me out with the syntax of this, I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks all. Bob

//Declarations ArrayList list; //I'm going to use some random names here to demonstrate syntax. If you don't understand any part of it, feel free to ask. public int getIndex(TaskState t) { for (int i=0; i

I looked over this information and it was a little helpful. I would love to see an example of how you pull the value of a specific item from an array list if you or someone else out there has one. Any assistance is much appreciated. Thankyou.. Bob

This article briefly goes over how to use a collection. I personally have used a nice foreach loop to go through my arraylist members in certain collections I have created. Is this close to what you are trying to do? http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconwhatiscollection.asp
