title: Specify the type for ArrayList
body: <p>In Java, and Android, I end up using <code>ArrayList&lt;String&gt;</code> for the supplying list as I find them easier to use than the standard <code>String[]</code>. My real questions though are this:<br><br>What is the <code>&lt;String&gt;</code> portion of the <code>ArrayList&lt;String&gt;</code> called?<br>How can I create classes and use the <code>&lt;&gt;</code> [modifier]? (I don't know what it's actually called, so for now it's modifier).<br><br>Thanks!</p>
