copied!<p>I am trying to populate my java awt list from a string array. The string array gets the values from a .csv file. (Timezones) e.g Australia,Melbourne Australia,Sydney Europe,London</p> <p>Note: There are two list boxes. First one for region and second one for City. The idea is to have the second one update after the user selects a region in the first one.</p> <p>I can't seem to be able to populate the list from these values</p> <p>Any help will be appreciated Thanks</p> <pre><code>String fileName = "C:\\Users\\Seb\\IdeaProjects\\TimeMachine\\src\\regions.csv"; File file = new File(fileName); try { Scanner inputStream = new Scanner(file); inputStream.useDelimiter(System.getProperty("line.separator")); //Stops the white spaces creating a new entry in array while (inputStream.hasNext()) { String data = inputStream.next(); //gets the whole line String[] arrayLocations = data.split(","); System.out.println(arrayLocations[0]); System.out.println(arrayLocations[1]); listRegion = Arrays.asList(arrayLocations); } inputStream.close(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); </code></pre> <p>The error appears in <code>listRegion = Arrays.asList(arrayLocations);</code></p> <p>Entire code</p> <pre><code>import java.applet.Applet; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.List; import java.io.*; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Scanner; public class TimeMachine extends Applet { private List listRegion = new List(); private List listSubRegion = new List(); public void init () { setLayout(new BorderLayout()); Panel buttons = new Panel(new BorderLayout()); buttons.setBackground(Color.cyan); buttons.add(listRegion, BorderLayout.WEST); buttons.add(listSubRegion, BorderLayout.CENTER); add(buttons, BorderLayout.NORTH); } public void getLocationInfo() { String fileName = "C:\\Users\\Seb\\IdeaProjects\\TimeMachine\\src\\regions.csv"; File file = new File(fileName); try { Scanner inputStream = new Scanner(file); inputStream.useDelimiter(System.getProperty("line.separator")); //Stops the white spaces creating a new entry in array while (inputStream.hasNext()) { String data = inputStream.next(); //gets the whole line String[] arrayLocations = data.split(","); System.out.println(arrayLocations[0]); System.out.println(arrayLocations[1]); listRegion = Arrays.asList(arrayLocations); } inputStream.close(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } </code></pre> <p>}</p>
