Java ArrayList.add overwriting values

Question

have this class

 public class Taxonomia {

    private static ArrayList<String> hijas;
    private static String padre;

    public Taxonomia (String p, ArrayList<String> h){
        hijas = h;
        padre = p;
        }

}

used in another class like this:

public class TablaSimbolica {

private static ArrayList<Taxonomia> taxonomias = new ArrayList<Taxonomia>();

public static void addTaxonomica(){

    System.out.println("enter value: ");
    String padre = Entrada.read(); //reads input and returns String
    System.out.println("entre value comma separated: ");
    String reemplazado = Entrada.read();
    ArrayList<String> items = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(reemplazado.split("\\s*,\\s*")));
    Taxonomia t = new Taxonomia (padre, items);
    taxonomias.add(t);  

}

when called from the main simple as this (print its just a for...)

TablaSimbolica.addTaxonomica();
TablaSimbolica.addTaxonomica();
TablaSimbolica.printTax();

all the objects are the same, and i cant figure out where it is im missing the creation of a new object or something like that. thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Your class variables in the Taxonomia class are static, meaning only one of each for the entire class, no matter how many instances.

Make it one per instance by removing static. Change

private static ArrayList<String> hijas;
private static String padre;

to

private ArrayList<String> hijas;
private String padre;
