Adding a value of a string to a string array ?

How can I add an additional value to a array, getting the data from a string?

I know how to modify/update a data in a array like so:

String testAddToArray = "New data";

mGetAnwser.mAnwsers[0] = testAddToArray;

But how can I add the value of testAddToArray onto the list array ?

I though it would be like: mGetAnwser.mAnwsers.add(testAddToArray);

but do not work.

Regards Thanks

Not sure if I followed your question. You want to add the value of testAddToArray i.e. New Data to an array list Could you tell me what is mGetAnswer?

This is how to add an element into array list 

ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
arrayList.add(testAddToArray);

This will add your data to the array list.

Hope this helps
