cannot instanciate the type list of itextpdf

Question

I want to display in a pdf a list of clients. I use this attribute :

 List<Client> client;

This is a method wihch creates a special list to be displayed on the PDF:

private static void createList(Section subCatPart){

List list = new List(true, false, 10);

List.add(new ListItem("First point");
List.add(new ListItem("Second point");

SubCatPart.add(list);}

But it says that "List cannot instantiate the type List"( in the method createList).

Answer 1

List is an interface. You can't instantiate it. Use any subclass like ArrayList like below

List<Client> clientList = new ArrayList<Client>();
