Hi
I have just started programming in Java. I have encountered a problem when accessing data stored in an object array, type of the data is a String. If anyone could help me i would be very thankful

This is the code I have produced so far:

Code:

class Animal{
	public static Object[] animalArray = new Object[10];
}


class Dog{
	
	static String rase;
	
	static String navn;
	
	public Dog(String rase, String navn){
		this.rase = rase;
		this.navn = navn;
	}
}


class Applikasjon{
public static void main(String args[]){
		
	
		
System.out.println("Choose menu 1 \"create new dog\" or 2 \"show element 1\"");
		
int brukerValg = SavitchIn.readLineInt();
		
while(brukerValg > 0){
		
		
switch(brukerValg){
			
case 1:	
				
System.out.println("Create new dog");
				

System.out.println("Enter type of the dog");
String brukerInputRase = SavitchIn.readLine();
				
		

System.out.println("Enter name of the dog");	
String brukerInputNavn =  SavitchIn.readLine();
			
int x = 0;
				
while(x < Animal.animalArray.length){
				
if(Animal.animalArray[x] == null){
				
Dog dog = new Dog(brukerInputRase, brukerInputNavn);
				
Animal.animalArray[x] = dog;
				
break;
				
}
				
else
				
System.out.println(x);	
x = x+1;
				
				
				}
break;
/*
This is where I need the code to print what i have 			
case 2:

System.out.println();
			
}
			
System.out.println("Choose menu 1 \"create new dog\" or 2 \"show element 1\",  0 to quit");

brukerValg = SavitchIn.readLineInt();
}

/*Don't mind this, it is just a test to check that the object actually has been stored	
*/
String output = "Subscript\tValue\n";
				
for (int testA = 0; testA  < Animal.animalArray.length; testA++)
				
output += testA + "\t\t" + Animal.animalArray[testA] + "\n";
				
System.out.print(output);
		
		
		
}
	
}

What i need to do is to make case 2 print the userinput from let's say animalArray[0] (race and name)
The class i use for userinput is SavitchIn.


Any help will be appriciateted

(1)The "rase" and "navn" should not be static
(2)To get the Dog objects, you may try it like this:

Code:

for(int i=0; i<Animal.aimalArray.length; i++) {
    if(Animal.animalArray[i] != null) {
        Dog dog = (Dog)Animal.animalArray[i];
        System.out.println("index: " + i);
        System.out.println("rase: " + dog.rase);
        System.out.println("navn: " + dog.navn);
    }
}
