Object() in java.lang.Object cannot be applied to..

[Accela Moon]

I'm not sure how do I proceed from here to solve this error, please help if possible.. thanks.

Object [][] entryList = new Object[20][4];

public void displayResult() {
String sqlQuery; 
sqlQuery = "SELECT * FROM History WHERE receiver_id = '" 
                           + this.receiverId.getText() + "'";
clientObj.sendSql(this.type1, this.type2, sqlQuery);
try {
clientObj.processConnection();
}
catch(IOException ioException) {
System.out.println(ioException);
}
//deserialize arraylist here.
classHolderClient historyObj;
int limit=historyList.size();

for(int i=0; i<limit; i++) {
historyObj = (classHolderClient)historyList.get(i);
entryList[i] = new Object(
                            historyObj.historyId, 
                            historyObj.userName, 
                            historyObj.receiverId, 
                            historyObj.validity, 
                            historyObj.location, 
                            historyObj.dateTime);
}

}

entryList[i] = new Object(historyObj.historyId, historyObj.userName,
    historyObj.receiverId, historyObj.validity, historyObj.location, 
    historyObj.dateTime);

After new, change Object to the name of your class. And remember, you have created a 2d array, therefore the left-hand side of your assignment should look like this:
entryList[a][b]

Accela,
I'm not sure what you're trying to do, BUT let me tell what you can't do. You're trying to construct an Object given arguments to a constructor that doesn't exist. I think maybe you're trying to actually put those items in an array instead of an Object constructor (in which case you'll get an exception saying you have an index that is out of bounds).
Does that help? If not, let us know what you're actually trying to do with the line: entryList[i] = ... because that is where the problem is.

[Joel McNary]

Well, you've got two errors here.
First, you can't create a new Object with those parameters, because the Object constructor takes no parameters. What class of object are you trying to create here?
Second, you are trying to put a single Object into your entryList[i] position. Buy you've defined entryList as a 2D array, so entryList[i] really should be an array of objects. entryList[i][j] would be for a single object.

[Accela Moon]

Yes, I'm trying to add the contents of the object into a 2d array, how do I fix this?

[Nathaniel Stoddard]

Object yourObject = new Object[] {objectOne, objectTwo, objectThree, objectFour};

Or the long way

Object yourObject = new Object[4];
yourObject[0] = objectOne;
yourObject[1] = objectTwo;
// you get the idea.
