Fill two-dimensional array with boolean value

In my class I have these properties:

boolean rendered[][] = new boolean[][]{};
String tabs[] = { "Tab 1", "Tab 2" };
int rows = 10;

... and I want to create an array with two main levels (two elements in tabs array), and each level would have 10 (variable rows) elements with false value.

First, you should tell the compiler how long is your array:

boolean rendered[][] = new Boolean[4][5];

Then you can proceed filling it

for(int i = 0; i < rendered.length; i++)
    for(int j = 0; j < rendered[i].length; j++)
        rendered[i][j] = false;

You probably want Arrays#fill:

boolean rendered[][] = new boolean[rows][columns]; // you have to specify the size here
for(boolean row[]: rendered)
    Arrays.fill(row, false);

(Arrays#fill can only work on a one-dimensional array, so you'll have to iterate over the rest of the dimensions in a for loop yourself.)

You are free to think of it as [row][column] or [column][row] but the former has a history of usage. 

int rows = 10, int columns = 2
boolean rendered[][] = new boolean[rows][columns];
java.util.Arrays.fill(rendered[0], false);
java.util.Arrays.fill(rendered[1], false);
