[Android.Runtime.Register("newInstance", "(Ljava/lang/Class;[I)Ljava/lang/Object;", "")]
public static Java.Lang.Object NewInstance (Java.Lang.Class componentType, params int[]? dimensions);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("newInstance", "(Ljava/lang/Class;[I)Ljava/lang/Object;", "")>]
static member NewInstance : Java.Lang.Class * int[] -> Java.Lang.Object

Parameters

componentType
Class

the Class object representing the component type of the new array

dimensions
Int32[]

an array of int representing the dimensions of the new array

Returns

the new array

Attributes

Remarks

Creates a new array with the specified component type and dimensions. If componentType represents a non-array class or interface, the new array has dimensions.length dimensions and componentType as its component type. If componentType represents an array class, the number of dimensions of the new array is equal to the sum of dimensions.length and the number of dimensions of componentType. In this case, the component type of the new array is the component type of componentType.

The number of dimensions of the new array must not exceed 255.
