I have a class - xClass, that I want to load into an array of xClass so I the declaration:

xClass mysclass[] = new xClass[10];
myclass[0] = new xClass();
myclass[9] = new xClass();

However, I don't know if I will need 10. I may need 8 or 12 or any other number for that matter. I won't know until runtime. Can I change the number of elements in an array on the fly? If so, how?

You can do some thing 

private  static Person []  addPersons(Person[] persons, Person personToAdd) {
    int currentLenght = persons.length;

    Person [] personsArrayNew = Arrays.copyOf(persons, currentLenght +1);
    personsArrayNew[currentLenght]  = personToAdd;

    return personsArrayNew;

}
