List<Object> pairs1 = new ArrayList<Object>();
Pair p =new Pair();
p.date="2014-10-10 10:10:10";
p.no=11;
pairs1.add(p);
I created a list like this; now i want to sort it using date without using Collections.sort
Or
Show me how to get only date from list object

If you really want to keep the date implemented as a string and assuming Pair is a class you wrote yourself:
let it implement Comparable
write a suitable implementation of compareTo(Object o)
use Collections.sort(pairs1)

Two ways you can do:
Implement Comparable for your Pair class and implement compareTo method by comparing two dates and then call Collections.sort(pairs1);
Create another class which implements Comparator and implement compare method and then call Collections.sort(pairs1, mycomparator);

Is it in Java possible to store classes...
Class1 class1 = new Class1();
...in Arrays/ArrayLists, somehow like this:
ArrayList<> classArray = new ArrayList();
classArray.add(class1);
Obviously this doesn't work, but how could it work?
Of course you can. You just specify the type of objects you want to store when you create the array list:
ArrayList<Class1> classArray = ArrayList<Class1>();
classArray.add(class1);
If the class can only be Class1
ArrayList<Class1> list = new ArrayList<Class1>();
Above code won't allow any other class objects it can only store objects of type Class1
If you want to store any class object
ArrayList<Object> list = new ArrayList<Object>();
Object is a parent class of everything in java which is the reason why it can store object of any class

I think it is better and faster to explain by one example, see the example below:
I have two constants: MY_PREFIX_CONSTANT1 and MY_PREFIX_CONSTANT2.
Then one method that puts those two constants in one array.
Then I add one third constant called: MY_PREFIX_CONSTANT3 but I forgot to add this third constant to the array in this method.
What I want to run is something like a check by which I can notify that the MY_PREFIX_CONSTANT3 constant was not added to the array.
Is this possible?
I would suggest using an enum:
public enum MyEnum {
VALUE1(1),
VALUE2(2),
VALUE3(3);
private final int id;
MyEnum(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
}
You can access all enum values as array using MyEnum.values()

I have a list<something> which passed to a method but the method expects like List<Iterator<something>>.
How could i achieve this?
Thanks
Your question is like asking
My client wants apples but I only have oranges. How can I turn my oranges into apples?
If the method requires a list of Iterator then give it a list of iterators! Don't give it a list of objects!
If you have this problem, you must be using the method in the wrong way. But you didn't tell me what the method is. So I can't tell you how to use the method in the correct way.
But anyway, if you really want to do this, here's how
//Assume your list is called "list"
List<Iterator> newList = new ArrayList<>();
for (Object item : list) {
newList.add((Iterator)item);
}
Note: this might result in ClassCastException.

I want to know whats the difference between creating an object[] objects and List<object> objects?
For example lets say I have a class for a book and i wanted to create an object array of books what would the best approach be?
Simply they are two differenct structures.
Object[] obj = new Object[4]; // Creates an array of 4 Object
List<Object> obj = new ArrayList<Object>(); // Creates a list
// (ArrayList in this case) of Object
An array is a structure that can't change its size.
A list can change it.
A list has many different implementations:
ArrayList
LinkedList
Vector
other implementations also custom implementations
An array is a predefined data structure that can't be changed.
A list has many predefined functions not present in an array.
With a list, you do not have to give a specific number of Items, and you can add whenever you want.
If you know exactly how many book instances you need, you can go for an array. But I prefer to use Lists, since it's more comfortable (imo)

Friends
Im posting my question again as previous question was unclear .
I want to pass an object of an class who's member variables are string , Listof A String and a List of an class member variable to a method that copies the contents of above class objects and returns a Lsit of class object which can be used by an java method.
Any example will be nice
Now I have a
Where is the class for CallFlowResource??
A simple way would be for you to create a list and add the values as you want them to be outputted.
It you would look like this:
public List<CallFlowResource> getCallFlow(CallFlowObject obj)
{
List<CallFlowResource> callFlowRes = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i = 0; i<size; i++)
{
callFlowRes.add(obj.GetterMethodForCFR(i));
}
return callFlowRes;
}
