increasing size of String array

[Miss. Michelle Heigardt]

Hi, I have a string array

String[] counting={"eine","zwei","drei","vier"};

and I want to increase size to include "five". But I do not want to do it
by modifying the declaration like this:

String[] counting={"eine","zwei","drei","vier","fünf"};

I want to increase the size runtime.

Is there a simpler way of doing this other than

String[] counting={"eine","zwei","drei","vier"};
String[] c=new String[counting.length+1];
for (int i=0;i<counting.length;i++)
c=counting;
c[counting.length]="fünf";
counting=c;


Thank you
Michelle

You could use a List, they resize automatically if needed.
Or you could use the System.arrayCopy method.
