What to use instead of Arraylist

Hi
Since ArrayList isn't available in JME, what should I use instead?
I'm new to Java, had used ArrayList on the PC version of my program.

I'm trying to store a list of bluetooth devices, with the friendly name and bluetooth id.
From what I can tell, I can use a Vector instead. But bearing in mind the limitations of mobile devices, is that the best route?
Thanks

Vector is the grandparent of all of Java's collection classes. It should be OK.

The main reason why Vector is out of favor these days is that (like StringBuffer) it adds the overhead of a thread-lock to its operations (they run synchronized). However, I don't think I'd worry about that on a mobile device.


One of the most odious afflictions that Business has inflicted on the modern English language is "pro-active". Most of the time it's simply redundantly used in place of the simple old word "active". And a good deal of the rest of the time it means "You're not overworked enough yet, so go out and find more!"
