Change value of string array at debug eclipse

I have an application, but to test something, I need to change value of a String[].

But when I do it using change value in variables tab, everytime it gives error.

I have tried using :

{"string1", "string2"}

["string1", "string2"]

[string1, string2]

etc. But had no luck. Can anybody plese tell how to do this?

See, you can't actually add(change) value in array while debugging.

But there is a work around, you need to assign new string array to this reference like,

new String[]{"string1", "string2"};

But this will remove old entries, so if you want to only add new values best way is to, copy old values from the variables tab.

new String[]{old values..., "string1", "string2"};

Use below command in the change value window.

return new String[]{"new string"};
