C# List<T> in Java

Question

Java noob here, coming from a C# background and having a couple of issues trying to re-write something in Java.


In C# I'd have something like this:


Main class:

            System.IO.FileStream cityInput = System.IO.File.Open(this.path, System.IO.FileMode.Open);

            System.IO.BinaryReader cityBr = new System.IO.BinaryReader(cityInput);

            long CityList = 10;

            this.Cities = new System.Collections.Generic.List<Cities>();

            int c = 0;

            while (c < CityList)

            {

                Cities item = new Cities(cityBr);

                this.Cities.Add(item);

                c++;

            }

            cityBr.Close();


And then my Cities Class:

namespace myObjects

{

    public class Cities

    {

        public byte cityAttraction;

        public short cityID;

        public  Cities()

        {

        }

        public Cities(System.IO.BinaryReader reader)

        {

this.cityAttraction = reader.ReadByte();

this.cityID = reader.ReadInt16();

        }

    }

}

I have been able to write my own binaryreader class in java based on some code i found in github.


My issue that I cannot work out is how to create a generic list collection based on a class in java.


Any help/direction/example would be great.
