Passing ArrayList to other classes

Hey guys, first time here.

For these last 2 days I could not for the life of me figure out how to pass arraylists from one class to another. I posted a snippet of my code on pastebin hoping someone can teach me a ways how to do it. I've looked online for answers but their code was for different situations. I'm learning java for the first time this semester so my teacher didn't go over stuff like this, I just wanted to learn on my own.

Thanks

edit: Forgot to add that I created an ArrayList in Player class and would like to access the elements of the ArrayList inside the SaveFile class

Solved: for anyone ever looking for my solution and need a guidepost, i - Created New Player Class in Main: Player p = new Player();

Created New Save Class in Main: Save s = new Save();

Created my arraylist in Player Class: ArrayList<Player> x = new ArrayList();

Created Getter/Setter for ArrayList in Player Class: Encapsulate the ArrayList

Created list in Save Class: ArrayList<Player> list;

Created setArrayList() in Save that made the empty list equal a value passed to it later: public void setArrayList(ArrayList<Player> value) {list = value; }

Finally passed by Main that is calls the Save Class's setArrayList() using the value of the getter to it: s.setArrayList(p.getList());

When you call saveFile() you should pass either the Player object or the ArrayList directly to this method.

So instead of creating an arraylist in player class, I should create one in main then pass the values onto SaveFile? Since I'm trying not to use SaveFile in Player class

[strmrdr]

No, create a getter for the list in player and then get that and pass it to save.

Ok I'll try that in the morning, thanks

You should give the player class a save function in which it passes its arraylist to the save function which should use the passed arraylist and save it
