I'm trying to add Objects to my arraylist but its not working and its giving me

"Multiple markers at this line - Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s) - Syntax error on token "a", VariableDeclaratorId expected after this token"

ArrayList<Record> records = new ArrayList<Record>();  
Record a = new Record ("Math","Add","Due Date is", "20/12/2011"); 
Record b = new Record ("Science","biology","Due Date is ", "21/12/2011"); 
records.add(a);
records.add(b);

Please supply more context - where is this code? inside a method? outside a method? –  MByD Nov 3 '11 at 10:25

The problem is not with adding to ArrayList rather than with instantiating objects. Can you please provide more information about the Record class? –  Egor Nov 3 '11 at 10:26
    
Its an syntax error, it has nothing to do with the list. –  Ralph Nov 3 '11 at 10:27
    
no its not inside any method ! this code is right after i declared the class and extended the Activity –  iyad al aqel Nov 3 '11 at 10:29
    
The class Record is a normal class , 4 string variables . one constructor that initialize those variables , getters and setters –  iyad al aqel Nov 3 '11 at 10:30

You need to put those calls to ArrayList.add() into a method!

See the answers to this question: What does the "Multiple markers" mean?

Put this code in onCreate() of Activity.
