How do I convert Strings of an ArrayClass into Objects?

Question

I'm trying to construct a for-each loop that converts individual Strings of an ArrayList to objects of the Product class, so I may add them to an Array.

public Order(String fileName, String order_id) {
    orderID = order_id + " JM";
    file = new FileReader(fileName);
    file.getLines();
    ArrayList<String> lineList = file.getLines();
    product_list = new ArrayList<Product>();

    //for each loop, insert the loop, create anonymous 
    //product type of objects, then add object here
    //product list.add.file[n]
    for ( String file : lineList){
        //Class c2 = Class.forName(cn);
        product_list.add(c1);
    }
}

Answer 1

Assuming your Product class is like below:

class Product{
    private String name;
    //Constructor
    public Product(String name) {
         this.name=name;
    }
}

then, your code shall look like

   for ( String file : lineList){ //you have selected strange name for file line. should be product name
        Product p = new Product(file);     
        product_list.add(p);
   }
