Getting arraylist char items returning into a string I can use to printout

I got an arraylist made containing two letters and one number. I need to display it like for example "ab1". But everytime I get a printline with some arraylist code: "pp4main.Letter@f7e6a96pp4"

This is my array list: ArrayList<Letter> letterlijst = new ArrayList<Letter>();

My code trying to display:

public Kofferslot(char letter1, char letter2, int cijfer){

    Letter letterlijst1 = new Letter();
    letterlijst1.setLetter(letter1);
    Letter letterlijst2 = new Letter();
    letterlijst1.setLetter(letter2);

    letterlijst.add(letterlijst1);
    letterlijst.add(letterlijst2);


    Cijfer cijfer3 = new Cijfer();
    cijfer3.setCijfer(cijfer);

    String letterstring1 = letterlijst.get(0).toString();
    String letterstring2 = letterlijst.get(1).toString();

    System.out.println(letterstring1 + letterstring2 + cijfer3);
}

you have to either override the toString() to print the letter or instead of using :

letterlijst.get(0)

use something like this :

letterlijst.get(0).getLetter() // return letter1 of setLetter(letter1)

override toString() in your Letter class, By default Object's toString() will be invoked

 @override
 public String toString() {
       return ""+ch1+ch2+number
  }

Where ch1, ch2 are the char attributes in your Letter class and number is an int attribute

You have to override your toString() method of the Letter and Cijfer class.

Something like this:

@Override
public String toString()
{
    return String.valueOf(mijnLetter);
}

But a nicer approach would be to a getter (getLetter()), instead of the toString.
